O'Neils Books

I just ran across a site that has the entire Music of Ireland book transcribed in several formats:

I just took a quick look but it seema to be a tremendous resource. Check it out and post your comments.

That may be good for getting a few specific tunes, but getting the actual O’Neill’s, the yellow version, is really a good investment. It has THOUSANDS of tunes and can be very useful.

Just bookmarked it! Thanks for the tip! I agree with Corinthia but heck if you practice next to your computer it is very convenient! Too much text for my taste on the first page but once you get to the index it’s no prob…

Corinthia,
I didn’t count them all myself, but the owner of the site claims to have 4725 tunes available in five or six different formats each. I’m sure I’d like the book too but in the meantime this seems like a good substitute.

BTW, I have no personal interest in the site, I just think it’s cool.
Another edit: That number (4725) above is the site’s visitor count. My bad. :blush:

Interesting to see Allan’s Irish Fiddler there, too. We used it for nearly ten years as the basis of the “standard repertoire” for beginners here in Brussels. I had no idea that it went back to 1902. It’s still an essential source for anyone looking for session classics, and IMHO more useful for the average ITM practitioner than O’Neill’s, notwithstanding the latter’s historic value.
