Tales from the Rambling Road 2 (Violin/Acc Edition)

Tales from the Rambling Road 2 is a collection of 18 folk tunes from around the British Isles and Ireland, designed to be accessible for anyone wanting to establish a strong folk style. This edition is suitable for Violin / Fiddle or Accordion.

The collection is suitable for intermediate players and above, especially those who are more experienced in other styles who usually learn and perform from sheet music. The book features the melody line and chords, providing an accessible notated route into the style, and also allowing and supporting improvisation as well, if desired.

All pieces have backing tracks recorded by experienced folk musicians, so you can perform with you very own band! The tracks are designed to push you forward to a pace and intensity expected in sessions. Backing tracks can be downloaded via the link or QR code in the book.

We encourage playing the tunes also as solo instruments (at any speed) to help to get to know the pieces; in fact, they're very pieces as solos in their own right!

Behind the Music: Bronco Hutchings is a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist with a deep passion for folk music. He has performed with groups such as The Yetties and Ship of Fools and is currently working with us on a range of exciting new resources for our Tales From... series.
