Very nicely played, not one I have in my list as I have never found the mandolin tabs for it.
"The gentle light that wakes me" is another of his tunes that I think would sound good on the harmonica

Thank you for the pdf. I am always looking for new tunes. I found Ali and Phil playing it on youtube. it is very slow for a reel! I wish people would put a metronome mark on their music.

Hi John, The "tone" is achieved by using a lot of EQ and some reverb. The harmonica is a chromatic 10 hole Kmise which cost about £20. The only thing it has going for it is that it has no valves (windsavers) which tend not to work well in cold environments. (My house is not warm!)
I am struggling a bit at the moment with one of your tunes, "Leaving Stoer" which I think is supposed to be a slow air but is still quite fast enough for me.

Thanks, Drifter. Not a model I have encountered. I have just uploaded a version of Carrickfergus on my YT channel and inspird a bit by you I have included the melody on my Hohner Highlander (the one developed by the great Donald Black of Benderloch!) using the D side. The other side is A mixolydian to enable the playing of pipe tunes - this was Donald's idea.
Does anyone know if there is a Phil Cunningham Tunebook? I am sure I seen a forum post stating they got the tune from his tune book, but cannot find the post!!!!!

Yes, Phil published "Vol.1" of his tunebook years ago (1995) with 54 tunes, but volume 2 never appeared. Daft, because there would definitely be a market for it. I expect one day there will be a giant collection brought out.
