A GOOD VERSION

There is a good version of this tune on John Brosnans "Cook in the kitchen" album worth a listen.

# Posted on January 28th 2003 by Northcregg

There's a version on De Danann's 1st album, played (presumably by Frankie Gavin) on whistle.

RIP

He died last week - his obituary was in the "Times".

Pronouns

Who died? There are a half dozen people in this thread that "he" could refer to.

Duke Of Leinster

Slainte's heading and the name of the tune are "The Duke Of Leinster". I'd thought it obvious that it was the "Duke Of Leinster" who had died - but apparently not.
