Tunney Song Tradition Trust

Established in 2023 by the children and grandchildren of Paddy Tunney, ‘The Man of Songs’. The mission of the Trust is to maintain and promote the written, oral and vocal works of Paddy Tunney, through research, publication and performance.

Proudly Reintroducing

The Stone Fiddle

Part memoir, part folklore tradition. The Stone Fiddle vividly evokes a lost world preserved by the memory of its Author, Paddy Tunney, ‘The Man of Songs.’

A collection of over 60 songs that celebrate an oral tradition with a degree of life denied by most literary works.

The blend of folklore and folksong, of times remembered in the Thirties, of the people and how they lived will be treasured and welcomed...

John Healey, Author, ‘19 Acres’
