The Big Book of Irish Polkas: Over 140 polkas with basic chords

By Sonny Hill

Over 140 Irish polkas are included in this book. The tunes include basic chords and the book has fingering charts for various instruments and a transposing chart in the appendix for reference.

Irish polkas are especially popular in southern Ireland in the province of Munster, specifically the counties of Cork, Kerry, Clare, among others, where the local style makes heavy use of Irish polkas and slides. The tunes are lively and well suited for dancing. And the simple melodies makes them great for beginner musicians just getting into Irish/Celtic music and equally great for seasoned players wanting to add their own style and grace to the tunes.
