The Stone Fiddle

Tunney wrote an autobiography, The Stone Fiddle: My Way to Traditional Song, which was published in Dublin in 1979. Ewan MacColl called it a nourishing book of splendid songs, witty and amusing ancedotes, brilliant character sketches and above all, a book combining wisdom and compassion. Ireland of the Welcomes calls The Stone Fiddle a marvelous introduction to County Fermanagh, a county rich in music, song, poetry and dance. Poteen making, mumming, story-telling and finally about 60 songs and poems, a splendid introduction to Irish life.
