Irish Flute Tunes

Maggie in the Woods (polka)

October 19th, 2007 at 2:07 pm (traditional irish flute, irish flute)

This was recorded by Tom Morrison in 1928 and probably by several other people since.  Maggie may be in them and I’m note sure that I’m out of them yet myself.

This is the 500th posting I’ve put on this site so I’m away for a lie down and to think of a few tunes for the next thousand.

• "Hello"

  Hello, I hope you find this site of some use. I will continue to play tunes and post them here as a source for people to learn from. If anyone wants a specific tune played then I'll try to record it if I know it. I used to find it difficult to get recordings of some tunes played at a resonable speed and in a normal key. I'm not promising to be reasonable and normal all of the time but I will do my best. Please contact me if you have any suggestions or comments. Thanks for now. (iflute@googlemail.com)
