SVM Publications is a division of Soar Valley Music Ltd which was first created in 1995 to publish A Jacobite Legacy, a short history of the Jacobite Risings.

We have since published The Low Whistle Book by Hannigan and Ledsam, Fundamental Djembe Techniques by Alicia Davies, and most recently Playing and Teaching Samba, The BeatLife Book by Hardcastle and Preston.

Apart from our own publications we distribute many titles of the music of the British Isles, along with tutors for the instruments which are used making traditional Music.
