"The book should be welcome to players of any instrument .”

John Moar

Folk On Tap

“Even just reading the tunes, you can feel the energy leaping off the page.

For me, the chording is excellent, and one of the great charms of the music. If this book is used by groups - or accordionists, of course, the arrangements will be a great help"

John Moar - Orkney View Magazine
