Tunes
In preparation for the various sessions throughout the Cruinniú, we were asked to share a set list of tunes we prepared for one of the previous Cruinniú’s.
It’s not meant to be a prescriptive list, but rather an aid to those who would like to prepare some tune sets that will probably be played in some of the sessions over the few days.
Feel free to email us at [email protected] with suggestions of other tunes / tune sets you like playing yourselves. We can add them to the list over time.
Tá súil againn go mbainfidh sibh taitneamh as na poirt seo. Enjoy!
