Combined Ceol na Fidhle Volumes Five & Six (book)

HIghland Tunes for the Fiddle. Another great selection of Highland fiddle and pipe tunes both old and new. It contains a wealth of tunes musicians have been looking for and couldn’t find!

This volume was issued ten years after finishing the original four volumes. After finding that I had collected a great many more pipe tunes over the intervening years and, as they were such good tunes, a further book was warranted to make these available to all the fiddlers and others out there looking for more good Highland tunes to play.


These represent some of the best Scottish pipe tunes being played today in Scotland.

Reviews

“And very good tunes they are, too. They’re all very much in the Highland tradition, so if you love all those romantic airs and the wtiddly pipeyness of the dance tunes, the book is certain to appeal to you.”

John Moar, Orkney View

“These are the kinds of tunes played by everyone from the hardest celtic-rock groups to the Wyre Band and your local Strathspey and Reel. If you are in there somewhere, then this really is the book for you.”

John Moar, Orkney View

“Wonderful series! “These are by far my favorite Scottish traditional tune books, and I have 'em all!”
