Our second book Our Tunes and Songs Volume 1 is a result of all those tunes we wrote together, along with Lancashire poems we’ve set to music. It’s in the same ‘lie-flat’ wire binding as the tutor, with a good ‘wipe-clean’ cover on the front, to cope with any beer spillage in the pub!

We’ve included the tunes twice in this book: once for musicians who just want the tune and the chords, and at the back for melodeon players who want to get their teeth into something a bit more difficult, but with all the same treble, bass and crossing rows notation as the tutor book. There’s also a CD which goes with the book, and all the tunes are played slowly and at normal speed.

Once again it’s proved a very popular book, and we’re really chuffed, because our whole philosophy with music is that we play things we really enjoy, and we have a lot of fun doing it. We want that for other people as well.
The book is designed for absolute beginners and improvers. It covers everything you need to know from the time you first pick up the instrument until you are confident in playing both treble and bass. By then you will also have a number of traditional tunes that you can start going to sessions with!

23 original tunes and songs on the history of the Lancashire Cotton Industry. Fully notated for the D/G Melodeon and chorded for Guitar and Banjo by Maggie Moore and Stan Bloor.
This book is firstly a collection of the tunes we have written and the nineteenth century Lancashire poems we have set to music, but it also features the same tunes fully notated for the D/G Melodeon with helpful tips and hints for melodeon improvers.
These notated tunes are really a follow on to ‘Maggie’s Melodeon’ a tutor book for beginners to improvers. Good happy rousing tunes and thoughtful songs. Optional tutor CD for Melodeon students.
