At the recent Wirral Festival a lad played 'The Darkened Valley' which I quite enjoyed and I am sure someone played a piece by him at a Forums event, possibly in Leeds, though I cant remember what it is. Does anyone else play Ireland and what pieces do you recommend ? Im going to get some but its all published in 5 volumes (chronologically) by Stainer and Bell. So I'll probably start with Book 2 which has 'Darkened Valley'
