Here's a very popular jig.  Thanks Mary for reminding me of it.  I seem to be struggling a bit with it in places.  I think this might just be my blackwood flute getting jealous of its new sibling.

This is really a fiddle tune but apart from the differences with strings, shape, holes, method of playing, sound and a few other things, a flute is just like a fiddle.  I'm not sure whether this is really like a tune but it'll pass a couple of minutes finding out.

Here's a very common tune.  Don't try singing Yeats to this version.

I think I'm getting used to this new flute now.  I'm not quite so sure about being used to the recording levels to stop the Ps escaping from the MP3 files of it.

Andy McGann called this as above.  John Doherty called it "The Fantastic Reel".  I think I should call it a day.

I'll try again tomorrow.  I'll call that Friday.

Here's a slip jig.  There are a few with this name, maybe not one for every hill in lovely Leitrim but at least two or three.  I'll try to remember them.

In the meantime I'd better go off and feed my hungry new flute with almond oil.

Here's a nice jig from a fiddle player I met the only time I was ever in America.

I'm playing it on a brand new flute here and I have also been eating chicken too recently.  I'm not sure that that is a perfect set of circumstances for flute playing but I hope the tune is decipherable amidst the lathe whirring and the distressed clucking.

This tune has probably stayed too many whiles in its limbo place prior to my posting it now.   As a result I can't remember how badly I played bits of it so I'll just apologise  for it all.

Here are some humours.  I hope you like them.  Bye bye for now.
