Irish Flute Tunes

Higgins’ Hornpipe

April 22nd, 2009 at 6:11 pm (traditional irish flute)

I’ve just been asked to play this tune so here it is.  I’m not too sure how reliable this version is but it is maybe a bit closer to the version common in Ireland than the version on another website near you.  I think it mightn’t originally be an Irish tune so maybe the funny version is the normal version where the funny version comes from and the normal version is maybe … etc.

This is also known as “The Cliff Hornpipe”.  Whether that’s the Cliff of “Summer Holiday” fame, I don’t know.

• "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)
