The Greene Tunebook
Tunes from The Red House, WWW Edition Hello Folks
This tunebook attempts to bring together the music that has been played at the Red House session over the past few years, as well as some new tunes that people would like to introduce and a little local talent.
There will always be several different ways to play folk tunes - what I have tried to do is write down the versions that will be most familiar to the musicians who play at the session. Where chords are given that are, as far as possible, the bog standard ones (not the weard and wonderful ones, as Steve would say!) to help rhythm players.
To the best of my knowledge the runes are all tradidional unless an author is named.
I'd like to thank (in no particular order): Micky, Simon, Ruth, Susannah, Jess, Richard, Rob, Alison, Phil, Paul and all current ceilisocks for their runes and suggestions. And Anna, for putting up with me typing in tunes in the middle of the night.
Hope it's useful!
