Nice one, Paul - I've got a recording somewhere of Seamus Ennis telling that in prelude to The Lark's March (if my memory serves me rightly).

Oddly enough, in a music shop in Lancaster on Saturday (is there only the one music shop in Lancaster I wonder?) I was trying out a few whistles, fumbling my way through the old Wheelwright's Tune of the Abbot's Bromley Horn Dance which pushes any whistle to its upper limits, thinking to myself what a racket I was making in the process. However, on our way out the young woman browsing the sheet music thanked me for my beautiful playing! How's that for truckley-how? Needs must I persevere with my whistle playing, as I have been these past 30 years...
