There is a nice version of Liam O'Flynn together with Catherine Ennis, daughter of Seamus Ennis one of *the* pipers, song and tune collector and Liam's mentor.

Should be played rather slow 3/8= 35..40bpm

Slow Air / Listening Piece

of course this is not a slip jig to dance...maybe could be written in 3/4 also, but it's not a waltz at all as well ...

Lovely recording of this

There's a gorgeous recording of this by Beginish.

Flute

The recording on pathway to the well is the best slow air I have ever heard on flute and, actually, my favourite slow air of all right now

Liam O'Flynn and Catherine Ennis on Youtube

I'm guessing this is the clip mentioned above. It includes some interesting details about Seamus Ennis as well.
