This file contains 16 barndances (#1 - #16). You can find more abc tune files at http://www.norbeck.nu/abc/ I've transcribed them as I have learnt them, which does not necessarily mean that I play them that way nowadays. Many of the tunes include variations and different versions. If there is a source (S:) or discography (D:) included the version transcribed might still not be exactly as that source played the tune, since I might have changed the tune around a bit when I learnt it. The tunes were learnt from sessions, from friends or from recordings. When I've included discography, it's often just a reference to what recordings the tune appears on. Last updated 2 December 2016.
