The Johnny Handle Manuscripts
Johnny Handle
After many years associated with folk music, and writing songs on all sorts of topics, I turned to making tunes up when the words didn't come. Thanks to the encouragement of friends, family and fellow musicians, I've finally got the first lot into print. I hope you enjoy playing them for listening or dancing, and that the collection will stimulate others to write tunes.
