No, the publishing rights went to Dave Mallinson, but I retain the copyright of the book(s). Dave did offer me the publishing rights but I wouldn't know where to start so left it with him. The tunes are all traditional and I can do what I like with them. It just seemed like a good idea at the time to do a compilation of the tunes I've heard and recorded while in the Morvan. The hard part was finding the names to the tunes! Maybe I'll start the ball rolling again and get in touch with Dave - it's over a year since I last heard from him. watch this space...............................
