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.

It's been out of print for 35 years. Who's to say?

Still anxiously awaiting my copy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In 2014, C&F member "pancelticpiper" (southern California) claimed to have the physical book. As did member "david_h"

I had spotted this thread revival but was keeping quiet because scanning it is still on the 'To Do' list.

As others have suggested, it may be a disappointment.

I can't believe that anybody around here would want the alleged item.

If you don't know every word, note and breath by now..you're in the wrong game.

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.

Now Music of Sligo or Kitty Lie Over, those are albums I've listened to hundreds of times...
