I need to find notation or a midi file, or an MP3 of two tunes;
The jig “the kesh”
The reel “Maid behind the bar”
In general there are tune banks (sites) but I don’t know any except madfortrad, can anybody help. Need them fast as I’m playing both next week-end with a strange band. Strange in many ways actually.
Thanx very much.
I find these three the most useful:
JC’s ABC Tune Finder - (if you know the name)
http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/FindTune.html
The Session - (if you know the name)
http://www.thesession.org/tunes
Tune DB - www.tunedb.woodenflute.com (great search facility if you have some of the tune’s abc’s)
Maid Behind the Bar is a great tune - I play it with The Old Grey Cat,

Try the Virtual Sessions on the BBC Radio 2 website:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/folk/sessions/
Dots and sound files, recorded by John McCusker and Mike McGoldrick among others. It works via Macromedia Flash, so I don’t know if there’s a way to save the sound files. The Maid and the Kesh are both in there, I believe.

The woodenflute URL should be http://tunedb.woodenflute.com (Drop the www in front.)
