Cruinn Còmhla (book)

An exciting collection of some of the most popular tunes - old and new - that are being played in Scotland and collected from many different fiddling traditions. Many of these tunes are popular at sessions. Cruinn Comhla means 'gathered together' in Scottish Gaelic.

This collection contains some fine timeless Scottish reels and strathspeys heard on many Scottish albums played by the new young bands and soloists. This book could also be described as a session tunes book as the material here is very popular in sessions too but this time some of the tunes are from older collections as well as the new music being composed today.

Reviews

“This is really is a well-judged collection. The Shetland and Irish music is all fairly widely-known, and will appeal to the beginner who is looking for material to play with others, whilst there is also a wealth of material for established players who are looking for something different. An excellent collection” I look forward to the next!”
