Auchensail by Sharon Newton Creasey

Auchensail is a collection of traditional Irish and Scottish tunes from manuscripts and recordings and learned from musicians over many years. Included are tunes from the Gunn ms, Fermanagh 1865, which I researched for the book and CDs ‘Hidden Fermanagh’ ~ tunes from Donegal learnt from Packie Manus Byrne and Danny Meehan and from recordings of the Dochertys and Francie Byrne ~ Scottish tunes from Kohler’s, Kerr’s and the Gow Collections ~ recordings by John Burgess, Angus Grant Snr., Paddy Carty, Mary Bergin, John Rea and Jerry Holland; and one new tune, a ¾ hornpipe composed by Michael Grey.
