Three more tunes from the Horsmonden tunes workshops, plus some thoughts about chords for those who wish to Plunkett...

I should warn you that the first two tunes feature an unexpected chord in the first bar, so if you're in the early stages of learning you'll likely need to go over those bits carefully...

Major Mackie's https://youtu.be/8_XAGYvLd3U

Beatrice Hill's https://youtu.be/1a4Xyi72AwY

Btw, I've learned that The Moldavian Schottische is the original name for the tune most of us call Beatrice Hill's. It was composed by Charles Louis Napoleon d'Albert, who also composed the Heel and Toe Polka, which as itself originally titled Sultan Abdülmecid Sultan's Polka. Look for it on YouTube...

Two more to follow...

Shave the Donkey (simply and with some chords you may think are cool and worth learning) https://youtu.be/1KyMSlZgX1c

Eleanor Plunkett (in G and Em... for me, the chords wander through G, Bmin7 and then B [yes, you get to use the B major chord!]) https://youtu.be/p4gxoUSBOKc

Please let me know if you find this useful.
