English Folk Music Books & Tune Collections
Explore our collection of English folk music books and tune collections, chosen for players who want practical repertoire for sessions, ceilidhs, Morris dancing, country dance music and traditional playing.
Many of these books are especially suitable for melodeon, accordion and concertina players, particularly musicians looking for clear, playable traditional tunes that sit well on free-reed instruments.
Traditional English Tunes for Real Players
This collection brings together books that support the way traditional musicians actually learn and play. Whether you are building your first folk repertoire, preparing for sessions, learning Morris tunes, or looking for reliable dance music, these resources are selected with practical use in mind.
Suitable for Melodeon, Accordion and Concertina
English folk music has a long connection with squeezebox instruments. Many tunes in this tradition work particularly well on D/G melodeon, piano accordion, button accordion and concertina, making these books useful across a wide range of players and levels.
For Sessions, Morris, Ceilidhs and Country Dancing
The books in this section may include jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas, waltzes, marches, Morris tunes and familiar English session repertoire. They are ideal for players who want music that is useful beyond private practice and can be taken into real musical settings.
Chosen by Squeezebox Marketplace
At Squeezebox Marketplace, we specialise in accordions, melodeons, concertinas and traditional music resources. Our book collections are selected to help players build confidence, expand repertoire and connect more deeply with the folk music they want to play.
As this collection grows, we will continue to organise and link related tutor books, tune collections and learning resources to make it easier to find the right material for your instrument and playing level.
