Kiaull yn Theay 4 new book of tunes to appear in July

01 Jul 2011

 It’s that time of year again - when tunes new and old make their way onto the printed page. Kiaull yn Theay 4 continues the series of tune books established by Colin Jerry. The latest book contains tunes from many of the leading musicians on the Manx music scene as well as forgotten gems. Prize for the greatest contribution of tunes goes to King Chiaullee whistle player, Gilno Carswell, who makes his Kiaull yn Theay debut with a whole host of quirky numbers. The book wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of composers who have taken time to send in recordings, tunes and songs. The volume also includes new tunes composed at the Bree weekends by young and talented musicians - jeant dy mie. The tunes and songs have been collected together by Breesha Maddrell for the Manx Heritage Foundation.
