Tab Req: Buttermere Waltz

Hi Everyone
I have just heard Simon Mayor playing his own composition 'The Buttermere Waltz' and was blown away by it. I would love to be able to play this on my mandolin; even though I know I could never play it as good as Simon. I would be most grateful if anybody could let me have a copy of the tabs or the music notation for this fabulous tune.
Many thanks

A quick search on Google shows nothing. If I were you, I'd try asking at the following:

I'm in a wee hurry now, but when I get back I'll have a better look.

Thanks, 999.

You can hear Simon Mayor playing it himself;

You are welcome, Mersey. I can hear, courtesy of leeneia, why you want to learn the piece. In the parlance, he's just a bit good. Thank you both for turning me on to him. I keep thinking of Knopfler's line, "Oh, yeah, the boy can play."

Simon Mayor has published 2 or 3 books of his works and methods and it is well worth looking up his webpage for further information
