Fluter’s Companion
Appendix 1.
Fluter’s Companion is the name of the range of tutorials and tune books which were
put together primarily for players of the Bb flute, used by marching bands across
Northern Ireland, Scotland and England.
This book is an addition to the original Complete Fluter’s Companion which was
published in April 2013 and contains finger charts, tutorials, notes for up to 700 tunes
and other useful information. I wanted to republish the book with another 100 tunes
which I have collected but it was making the book heavier and would have added
another 50+ A4 pages.
Instead, I decided to publish a separate appendix of tunes only, which have either
been requested by members of flute bands, individuals or tunes that I have
composed myself. If you want to purchase a copy of the Complete Fluter’s
Companion with the tutorials and finger charts you can go to the link at the bottom of
the page.
You will notice that under many of the titles I have written Published on (Date) (Time)
This relates to when I posted the notes on the Fluter Companion Facebook page or
posted the video on the Youtube page.
Since putting this appendix together I have already collected more tunes which will
be published as appendix 2. In early 2016.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you write the tunes out as a music score, I don’t understand this type
of abc?
A: No, this is how I learned to transcribe tunes as have many fluter’s amongst the
marching band community.
Q: This abc method is different to the Folk abc on sites like The Session, abc
notation etc.
A: Yes, this method is more primitive however, in most cases the tunes in the books
are backed up by an audio uploaded to Youtube so the learner can hear how the
tune should sound as well as having the notes, I couldn’t make it easier of I tried.
Q: Why are many of the tunes Unionist or Loyalist tunes?
A: like many cultures across the world, my people write about the things that are
important to us, tunes which relate to political or historical events are stitched into my
culture and help make us who we are. I get most of the requests from members of
the flute band community which stretches across N.Ireland, Scotland and England
and they usually start like this “ Hey boy, can ye do uz a wee tune, make it loud and
catchy like, something to do wi Rangers etc”.
Q: Do you not collect Irish, Republican or Nationalist tunes?
A: Those who visit my Youtube account will see that I am a very keen fluter and love
playing Irish Traditional Music however, there are plenty of sites and publications
who collect this music and display it in a more professional way than I can. The band
scene is a very niche market and hopefully one day there will be more publications
that can present our music to a wider audience until then, I will carry on doing what I
am doing.
Q: Why don’t your books have the notes for marches, plenty of bands play
them?
A: I did build up a stack of marches and wrote them out in abc, then sent them to a
guy who had requested them, “ They’re in a different key or we play them different to
that, can you write it out from this audio?” As you know, melody and part music
bands are competitive, they don’t like to play the march the same way as their
competitor and they adapt the tunes and parts to suit the instruments they have,
therefore I would be forever chasing my tail with marches so I steer clear of them. If
your band plays marches with multiple parts (2nd, 3rd flute, F flute, Eb Piccolo etc)
you’d be better off learning to read music.
I have written a couple of marches which are in this book, but I can’t sit and wait for
them, they usually come to me when I am tired and going to bed, so I then sit up until
4 in the morning, breathing silently into my Bb Miller Wicks.
Q: Why bring out another book, why not add these tunes to the last book?

APPENDIX 1.
STUART BOYD
FLUTER’S COMPANION
A: As mentioned previously it was too heavy it would have been over 300 A4 pages,
heavier to use, heavier to post and harder to find the tune you want.
Q: Do you play in a band?
A: I have played in a few bands over the years, I currently play with a small Corps of
Drums in England.
Q: If I can’t afford the book how else can I learn these tunes?
A: Good Question, All the tunes are added to Youtube first under my account name “
accordionstu” so if you are looking for a specific tune, type accordionstu into youtube
search box along with the name of the tune.
The notes are then added to the Fluter’s Companion Facebook page, where you will
find them under the notes tab. Then they are fed into the Index page of the Fluter’s
Companion website and the tunes are listed alphabetically, if for example you are
looking for “Grimsby Chums” and it isn’t showing under the letter “G” look for “The
Grimsby Chums under the letter “T”.

Blood for Soil
Remember the F notes in the 1st and 2nd verses are natural (1,2,3,4,5 f key) and
(1,2,4,5 and fkey for high) and the f notes in the trio are sharps (1,2,3,4) as the tune
changes key for the trio, don't ask me why, thats just the way it came to me and i
think it sounds good. You will need a five key flute to be able to play this march
