Huws Jones, The Ceilidh Collection Complete for Violin with Online Accompaniments (Boosey and Hawkes)

A generous selection of Ceilidh favourites from the English, Irish and Scottish traditions, all presented for Violin with Piano and Guitar accompaniments by Edward Huws Jones. 33 traditional melodies, jigs, hornpipes and dances have been collected together for you to enjoy no matter what your playing abilities.

The full range of traditional fiddle repertoire is now at your fingertips! Using these generous collections, you can create your own ceilidh, barn dance, jazz club or Sarajevo street-cafe. Some of this music is familiar, some more exotic, but all of it is absolutely authentic, faithfully arranged and, above all, hugely enjoyable.

Each title in the series is available in two formats: the Violin Edition (with an optional easy violin part and guitar chords); or the Complete Edition, which also includes both keyboard and violin accompaniments. Either format is hugely flexible, which means the music can be played as solos, duets or trios as well as with larger ensembles.

Edward Huws Jones has travelled extensively researching fiddle-playing traditions. In each book he explains the background of the particular musical style, giving his own suggestions for a lively performance.
