‘The Light Side of the Tune’ is a collection of unusual versions of some of the well-known tunes in the tradition. I’ve spent time over the last three years collecting interesting settings of some of the common tunes in the tradition. I realised that there were many tunes that I didn’t enjoy learning as a child and disliked playing as a teenager which I found I’d grown to love as an adult. Somehow you find the music in the tunes as you mature as a musician. The common tunes can also get overplayed, and it can be easy to tire of them. I’ve found it interesting to revisit those tunes, to rediscover the music in them and the reason why they became so popular in the first place.
