Irish Traditional Session Music, Book 2
Great Collection, Solid Format
A very useful collection of tunes for the advancing player. While I knew some already, having them clearly laid out with reliable chords and ABC notation is fantastic. The finger charts are less relevant for me now, but the core content and CD are excellent. Wire binding is always a plus.

The Perfect Next Step
After working through Book 1, this was exactly the challenge I needed. The tunes are more complex but are presented just as clearly. It helped me expand my repertoire for faster sessions. The CD is essential for getting the feel right.
