To listen to The Stone Fiddle is to enter into Paddy Tunney's sense of himself, to step into a lost world preserved only in his memory and imagination. It contains over 60 songs but, as Bill Meek wrote in The Irish Times, back when it first appeared in 1979, 'Paddy Tunney's book is much more than a collection of songs ... only infrequently can a study be said to reveal a culture from within. When such an event occurs, the result can be electrifying, and such is the effect of The Stone Fiddle, undoubtedly a piece of literature, and yet so directed by the oral tradition that the pages dance with a degree of life denied to most literary works.' Now, after many years out of print, Tunney Song Tradition Trust is making this 1970s' classic available to a new generation.
