Chris has teamed up with Alastair Gavin to produce a new tune book of Folk Dance Tunes.
The Unexpected Polka is an essential resource for musicians of all levels wishing to play a broad range of traditional and modern folk tunes, many of them mainstays of the standard folk dance repertoire, and a few a little more, well ... unexpected!
Recommended for music workshops, playing for dancing or private study, this book is accompanied by downloadable audio of all the tunes in Part A, each specially recorded by Chris and Alastair at the recommended dance tempo as well as a slower slower version to help with learning the tune.
All the tunes in this comprehensive collection are presented with second (and sometimes third) parts to fill out your ceilidh band's sound with glorious harmonies and counter melodies, and also to allow beginner level players to keep up to speed with the lead players.

This book was produced with financial help from Folk Camps.
