MusicHere you will find music for some of the music that we commonly play at the club during jams or practice sessions.
Below are PDFs of the sheet music, along with (where available) basic versions of the tunes downloadable as mp3s. The mp3s are for basic demonstration purposes only. To learn more about the feel of the tune and the speed it should be played at, come to the club or find a CD or video recording. We play harmonies for some of these pieces, but for copyright reasons these cannot be posted online. If you are interested, ask at a club night. A list of songs and tunes often played at club can be found here. |
