Re: Planxty Songbook 1976.pdf
So what was the verdict? I want it too! Only if it's legal to share it, of course, which it most likely is not.

Re: Planxty Songbook 1976.pdf
It's been out of print for 35 years. Who's to say?
Still anxiously awaiting my copy.

Re: Planxty Songbook 1976.pdf
If it's a real pdf, I'd sure like a copy too, please.
If you email it to me, I'll open it up in a linux virtual machine sandbox and see what it really is.

I bought it in 1977 and managed to locate it again in the attic when it was mentioned here a few years ago.It's been out of print for 35 years. Who's to say?
As Dubh said: if you haven't figured out what's in it by now, the book isn't going to save you. Poor, at least awkward, notations of tunes and a number of song with melody line. That's all there's to it.
Much more interesting is a little hardcover, nicely illustrated book with songs from Andy Irivine's repertoire that was printed in 1988 in Germany which I swiped off e-bay a few months ago for a fiver or so (it was part of a batch of three books that cost €12 in all, nobody else put in a bid).

Any chance I could get a copy of the Planxty Songbook .PDF? Im arranging music for guitar ensemble and would love to do a Planxty set. The book would help.

Re: Planxty Songbook 1976.pdf
Rereading this frankenthread, it seems that I was the only poster who admitted to having a copy. That was several hard drives ago, and I no longer have it.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Not really, my former forum identity that for some reason changed its name in a server crash (that one was never really explained satisfactory), confessed on 03 Mar 2009, 16:54 to having a copy of the book.it seems that I was the only poster who admitted to having a copy.

I had spotted this thread revival but was keeping quiet because scanning it is still on the 'To Do' list.kkrell wrote: As did member "david_h"
As others have suggested, it may be a disappointment.

I know this is probably mostly tongue-in-cheek, but for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure you could count the number of times I've listened to a Planxty album on your fingers, even if you've been so unfortunate as to have lost a few of them.dubhlinn wrote:I can't believe that anybody around here would want the alleged item.
