Charlie Lennon

This tune was written by Charlie Lennon of Co. Lietrim (fiddle & piano player), it's one of the first tunes I learned by ear. I have to admit I like every tune I've ever heard by Charlie Lennon. Charlie as well as being a great fiddler is one of my favourite all time backers. People who slag off on piano have rarely heard players like Charlie Lennon or Felix Dolan.

Piano backing

yes,mr. mad, I have to say that Mr. Lennon is one of the few piano backers that I can listen to without curling me toes.Very tasty,IMO.
I will certainly try to give Mr. Dolan a go as well.

The last 2 bars of this transcription don't work. Play it as CL wrote it - it sounds better.

D Whistle Version

Does any one have a Version that can be played on a D Whistle or Pipes?

D whistle version

Try something like this for the last few bars of the last part, Tony:

The other parts fit fine on D whistle at least. I can't speak for the pipes, as I know next to nothing about them.
