Does anyone know of any CDs of folk or Irish music featuring the piccolo?

Oddly enough I couldn't find any clips on the Farne Website.

Benny Hill recorded a Piccolo Song in the 1960s. I still remember all the words.

Nick - there's an LP copy of "Flute For The Feis" coming up on eBay in 4 days time. Starting bid is £5.00 + £3.00 for P&P. No bids yet, and it's not mine. Good luck !
