We're a' Connected (book)

95 Scottish Songs to Dance tunes - for Singers, Fiddlers and Pipers. A fascinating collection re- connecting the original dance tunes with many of the forgotten songs that go with them. Includes many song tunes in bagpipe notation as well as fiddle versions and has chords for accompanists.

Dougie Pincock has written great bagpipe settings for the songs and Susie Petrov and Christine Martin have collected and co-ordinated the Gaelic, Scots and American versions to make this a stimulating collection for all musicians. A very useful resource for music and dance workshops, bands, pipers and soloists wanting to learn Scots and Gaelic songs and to study the origins of the songs and tunes.

Reviews

“The title of this smart looking collection is very apt. The ‘connections’ are many, various and oftern surprising, demonstrating for example the crossover between Highland(Gaelic) and Lowland Scots songs sometimes going back centuries.”

The Living Tradition Magazine

“The book, in A4 format, contains 95 traditional Scottish songs from both the Scots and Gaelic traditions, with the tunes of the songs, or variations of them, arranged as dance tunes for fiddle and pipes, with useful basic chord suggestions for accompanying instruments............"

Keith John Scammell, Ceol Beo Tradional Roots magazine

"It is obvious from its layout and content that this publication will be a very useful tool for learning, not only for learning songs and tunes but also for learning about connection between each and with dancing.”

Keith John Scammell, Ceol Beo Tradional Roots magazine

“This slender book offers 95 traditional Scottish songs, collected as songs for singers and also collected as (and shown with) arrangements for fiddle and pipes.”

By Kerry Dexter, from Dirty Linen Magazine
