8.3) How do I get James Stewart's index of tunes?
A) A Web based search engine is available at Ceolas: http://www.ceolas.org/tunes/TuneIndex/.
8.4) What is the Ceolas archive?
A) Quoted from Ceolas files:
"Ceolas is an information service for Celtic music, dedicated to distributing high-quality information on all aspects of Celtic music by means of the Internet. We source information from official bodies, commercial interests, other individuals on the net and our own researches. By 'filtering' commercially-supplied information, we hope to avoid the bias and advertising hyperbole that has previously caused disputes between the commercial and Internet worlds."
