Book 1 was published in 2002 consisting of 96 tunes written by Joe Massey and myself over a period of about twenty years. Many included the story behind the tune. Also included was a double CD which featured every tune in the book arranged in sets.
A few years later we published Book 2 which included 24 new compositions from Joe (including two piobaireachd), 18 from myself and several more from three other contributors; Iain Sutherland, former Pipe Major of Milton Keynes Pipe Band, Bob Walters, and David Hunter, a young piper and composer from Dundee. And again the book was accompanied by a CD featuring all the tunes in the book.
Sadly Joe passed away on Christmas Eve 2013. For several years after this we held an annual memorial recital/competition in his memory, organised by Joe Davies, one of his pupils and now Pipe Major of 2 Scots, Royal Regiment of Scotland. Every recitalist had to include one of Joe's compositions in their selection.
All the tunes by Joe and myself are now available here as a free download.
All I ask is that if you use any of the tunes you acknowledge who wrote them.
