Anyone who performs in a dance band, or just plays for enjoyment, can spend hours looking for tunes which are fun, catchy or different. This book has been produced in response to the great demand from people who have come to Peeping Tom ceilidhs or bought Peeping Tom recordings and asked if the tunes are available in written form. The majority of tunes in the book were composed to be danced to. Their phrasing and composition is intended to give that extra bit of lift which makes all the difference to the dancers. Also included are a few tunes which stand in their own right as tunes.

Peeping Tom Tunebook - Ben Woodward and Ian Wilson
Peeping Tom played their last gig at Bromyard Folk Festival 2023. Prior to that they were the country’s favourite ceilidh band. Beside playing many traditional tunes they also played tunes written by two band members Ben Woodward and Ian Wilson. Sixty-three of these tunes are presented here. Many of the these tunes have become firm session favourites.
