A great tune on the plectrum instruments! Way to go learning this one. A beaut.

Very well done. 👏👏

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

Thanks for checking it out. Such a great tune!

It's a really great hornpipe..l have several variations built in when I play it three times and you can push nicely on the downbeat and activate the low D on your flute.
Great choice.

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

Pat, that's a great choice of words: "activate the low D." Descriptive and slightly onomatopoetic.

Sometimes cheekily called the Roscommon Airport

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

Ha! Never heard that, Dean.

Great tune and version . One I’ve avoided in the past because of timing issues at our session. What would normally go with it

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

Today we played it with Cronin's in G. That made a nice change. It's such a nice strong tune, I think it can go with almost anything.
