Lookign for a tune- Inisheer? Is it old, new? Heard it on a tape and love the beauty of it. Any help appreciated. BTW- My Mother and three younger sisters sang together a lot, I remember many happy times singing while waiting in the car for Dad to finish a poker game. |

The young woman playing it did not know its name. I have since heard a tin whistle player play it and he told me it is called Inisheer (Inis Oirr) named after an island off the coast from Doolin co.Clare. I have a copy of the tune he recorded but I read music rather than play by ear so I would like a written copy of the tune. I was told it was a new(ish) tune? |

I have been practicing Inisheer all day from the tune in tunefinder; and tonight I will share it with my tin whistle class. So far I have tried two of the versions in tunefinder and I like them both in different ways. Anyway thanks again Malcolm Cheers!! |
