BB note:
I had never heard of this book until I saw a mention of it in Séamus
Connolly's foreword to Brendan Tonra's 1988 volume (ITTL tunefolder 55).

A little research - with assistance by retired Boston College librarian
Beth Sweeney - turned up the fact that only one hard copy of this book
exists in the U.S. It's in the safe hands of the Cornell University
Library, who were willing to part with it (temporarily of course)
via an inter-library loan to my local Bourne Public Library (thanks
to Falon Williams at BPL for her help in getting this done).

The appearance and general format of ITBTH will be familiar to anyone
who has had experience with the Bulmer and Sharpley "Music from Ireland"
series (ITTL tunefolder 13). The layout can be a little cramped, but the
notation is generally of a high standard.

The contents of ITBTH are what really makes this volume interesting:
many tunes that (to the best of my knowledge) appear nowhere else,
including some original compositions as well as contributions from
the likes of Paddy Canny, Roger Sherlock, and Joe Burke.

Not surprisingly there are also some tunes in ITBTH that have appeared 
in other collections. I have included in this file only the versions of such tunes as I thought were different enough to warrant the work involved.
The tune index will show all the tunes in the volume, but the duplicates
will be flagged accordingly and will not be assigned a reference number.

There are also the usual number of tunes that are known by other names.
Where I could recall those names, I have noted them in the tune file.
Where I couldn't recall them, I 'd be grateful for assistance to my
(aging) memory!

Although the original idea seems to have been a series of ITBTH volumes,
Volume 1 seems to be the only one that was ever published.  McGuire
passed away in 2005 and Josephine Keegan last year (2025), so unless
there's a trove of unpublished material out there in ITM-land somewhere,
it doesn't seem likely that there will be a continuation of the series,
at least involving McGuire and Keegan. (It's possible that a lot of
material intended to future ITBTH volumes wound up as part of the "Music 
from Ireland" series.)

The volume does not provide any CRE-type information on the individual 
tunes, nor does it allude to individual copyright. On that basis I
would guess that no recording permission would be required for any of
this material.
