Name of tune (probably from donegal)

Hi
I watched ceolchuarit on TG4 yesterday, wich features Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh in Norway to pick up her first hardanger fiddle. Approx 13 min into the programme she receives her fiddle from the fiddle-maker and she plays a to me unknown irish(!) tune.

I have a hardanger myself and would be very greatful if someone could give me the name. This tune seems to suit the instrument very well.

The Teelin Highland, from the album The Red Crow.

Speaking of TG4 - is there a way to fast forward on their player? Every time I move the scroll bar on the bottom it resets the video from the beginning. Anyone else get that?

Thanks TradLad for the heads-up.

Nathan, try tapping the bar at the place you want instead of dragging the marker.

Check out the cd from Sultaim featuring Breton flute player Sylvan Barou playing the best version of the Teelin Highland
