John Kirkpatrick presents 101 tunes that are tailor-made for the strong rhythmic approach inspired by English dance steps and rhythms. With melody, chords and variations, the book is ideally suited for any instrument, but one of the prime factors in the selection of the tunes has been the fact that they sit so happily on the push-pull squeeze-box scale.

John’s book is complemented by two excellent soundtracks. The two soundtracks of all the tunes in the book has been specially recorded by John playing three-row Casali B/C/Csharp accordion, two-row Hohner D/G melodeon, various Hohner one-row melodeons and Crabb G/C Anglo concertina. He is accompanied by his son, Benji playing six-string guitar, twelve-string guitar and bouzouki.
