Review
"You've done a great job. I like your settings very much." --Martin Mulvihill, RIP, Irish fiddler and teacher
"This new book represents one of the most considered publications of Irish traditional music ever to have been issued. Furthermore, this new edition appears in a handy format, spirally-bound to prevent wear and tear as one struggles with, say, those wretched low A notes in The New Policeman, and features not only Randy's own wood engravings as decoration (based on the Book of Kells), but also includes a new section providing information on the sources of the tunes. The tunes themselves are presented with utmost clarity and a special section explains the use of ornamentation, offering suggestions for ways, for instance, of playing the rolls in Paddy Ryan's Dream. Apart from O'Neill, if there's one tune book you must include in your collection, this is it! Frankly, it's the best Irish tune collection issued for many a long year." --Geoff Wallis, Musical Traditions Magazine
