Playlist

The playlist forms a menu for the sessions at the National. We would expect to play about 12 tunes in an hour and a half. The tunes marked with an 'S' are tunes we use as the easy and slow starters played in the first half hour of the session. All tunes on the current playlist have a link to computer generated audio files at different speeds so you can play along. 'BPM' is beats per minute. In Explorer you may need to allow it to run scripts and then return to the tune page.

For this year's national festival we have added a sheet of bonus tunes. The bonus tunes are marked with a B.

The handout is available for download. The cautions are: the file is 2.2 megabytes and it is designed to be printed on A3 paper. Click here to download the .pdf file. Click here to down load the bonus tunes which is smaller and designed for A4 printing.
