The songs are all traditional jigs, reels, hornpipes, etc, which is great. These are ones you might hear at a session. The recording of the music which you can download is well done and is played on tin whistle, clearly and at a moderate speed. The printing of the music notation in the book is a little smaller than I like, but is ok for occasional use.

Good value and lots of tunes. Would have 5 stars if it had been spiral bound. The perfect bound book does lend itself well to using on a music stand.

There are so many songs in this book! I would have liked a ring binder so the pages are easier to turn, but since the songs don’t go past one page, it’s not an issue. I just use clips to keep the book open on my music stand.

Great to have sound files with the music. It really helps that they play in traditional manner the songs were written in. The Author also has The Complete guide to playing traditional irish on the tin whistle That I found to be fabulous and have used the two in conjunction.
