Suffolk traditional tunes

This set list of instrumental medleys was produced for use as a community music resource on St Edmund’s Day (23rd November) 2009. Together they make a good representation of traditional music from Suffolk, usually played on melodeon and dulcimer, with maybe a concertina or fiddle.
Each link below takes you to a page with the score written out and further information about the tune.
