NEW TRADITIONAL TUNEBOOK - FORAGED MUSIC

I'm self-publishing a new book of traditional tunes to partner my 2017 book Jiggery Pokerwork.  It contains 94 tunes suitable for all melody instruments with suggested chords, and it includes all the trad. tunes I've ever recorded with Spiers & Boden, Eliza Carthy and Bellowhead along with many others.  Where the original tune is in a more unusual key I've included a transposition to a more folk-friendly (ahem melodeon-friendly!) key.

It is currently on its way to the printers and I am taking pre-orders from today to help pay for the printing costs.  You can pre-order your copy from my online shop here.  There are plans to create a fully navigable PDF digital version for sale soon, but currently all pre-orders are for physical copies only.
