These are tunes regularly played and enjoyed at sessions here. Most we have put into ABC format, others we have learned from Richard Robinson's Tunebook, Henrik Norbeck's Tune Collection , Dan's Collection of Tunes, TuneWeb, and Chris Walshaw's ABC Home Page. Words to the songs listed below are from the Digital Tradition Folksong Database.

Usually we play sets of two or three tunes at a time. The groupings below are typical sets. Tunes are catagorized by type (e.g., reel, jig, air...) but some groupings are mixed and some tunes are duplicated. Have fun!

Please note The current list contains over 600 tunes and not all of them are listed below. If there is a tune you are looking for that is not listed below contact us.
