This book is a collection of 300 Irish pieces for fiddle or mandolin, and almost every piece in this collection sounds great and is fun to play. This book is very cheap and it is niclely illustrated. It does also contain some basic introducory notes for the different styles of Irish music. If you like Irish music and want to have it in a nice book you should have a look at this collection.<\/p>\n<p>When I played the music I remembered that I had already found out that this collection is based on an old collection of Irish tunes, and so I tried again to find the source for this edition. The tunes are taken from <strong>Ryan&#8217;s Mammoth Collection<\/strong>, a collection of more tan 1000 Irish tunes. The collection is available as <strong>free download<\/strong> on the following site:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/violinsheetmusic.org\/collections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/violinsheetmusic.org\/collections\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have found some videos with performances of tunes from <strong>Ryan&#8217;s Mammoth Collection<\/strong>, this is the band <strong>Pendragon<\/strong> with some of the tunes:<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"watch-headline-title\">PENDRAGON &#8220;Ryan&#8217;s Mamouth Collection&#8221; I<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PENDRAGON Ryan&#039;s Mammoth Collection I\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fqbSaEHMrik?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>An even better resource can be found on the site of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itma.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ITMA &#8211; Irish Traditional Music Archive<\/a> .
