This collection of 56 tunes (a few of which are traditional tunes), have been composed by John McCusker mainly during his time as fiddler with the renowned Battlefield Band. From an early age John has always loved to sit down at the piano or pick up his fiddle and compose new tunes. In this collection, John has written the tunes down the way that he would play them himself ... but he encourages the players to feel free to add their own ornamentation and interpret them in any way they choose ... and therefore make them their own. A lovely collection of Jigs, Waltzes, Reels Slow Airs and more.
