Irish Flute Tunes

The Eel in the Sink

April 13th, 2008 at 11:56 am (traditional irish flute)

I’ve just been asked to play this tune so here is an attempt at it. I’m about to go and do the washing up now and am feeling a bit uneasy about what may be lurking under last night’s saucepans. A few wriggling elvers may actually be quite an effective dish dirt dislodger though.

• "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)
