The Holm Band Jig

A lovely tune from Orkney isles, Scotland. It is on Wrigley Sister's "Mither o' the Sea" album.

I love to play it after Tobbin's Favourite. Though the tune is in A major, it is relatively easy to get G# on the whistle.

It may be related to The Maid at the Well, but I'm not sure of the origin of the tune.
