A nice tune from Flook (Raubai)

I don't know the composer of this tune so if anyone knows it, he's welcome :)

My assumption would be that it was written by either Sarah Allen or Brian Finnegan.

I like the way they have this tune with just the flute, whistle, and bodhran backing it.

This was probably the original fingering on the whistle:
