JOHN KIRKPATRICK'S ENGLISH CHOICE
A tune-book containing 101 traditional dance tunes, suitable for all melody instruments, but especially selected because they sit happily on the push-pull melodeon scale. Notation is given not only in the keys in which the tunes are played on the two accompanying recordings, but also in the original keys for each tune, and, where appropriate, in a key that is more session-friendly! Melodies, chords, some notes on the tunes, a lengthy introduction and discussion of the instruments, with a few photos.

John has specially recorded all the tunes in this book onto two CDs, so that you can hear how they go, and play along him. He is accompanied on about two-thirds of them by his son Benji on guitars or bouzouki.
