Recent Tune Change
Some tutors or candidates in Grade 1 fiddle may by now have attempted
to obtain the tune ‘The Mid Yell School Waltz’ by Tom Anderson. It has come to our attention that the
collection in which it appears, Haand Me
Doon Da Fiddle, is no longer in print.
We have therefore substituted it for another great waltz of Tom
Anderson’s, ‘Fethaland’, which can be found in The Tom Anderson Collection
Volume 1, currently published by Hardie Press.
