Farewell to Whalley Range
This tune is off a Michael McGoldrick John McSherry Album "At First Light" and was originally transcribed by Devin McCabe. Thanks Devin, its a great tune. I play it in a set of Tar Road to Sligo/Give us a Drink of Water/Farewell to Whalley Range. Enjoy....

It was composed by Mike McGoldrick when he moved from Whalley Range, area of Manchester he used to live in. Also on capercaillie's albulm 'Nadurra'

Key
This is actually in F# minor pentatonic, not A major - although I suppose you could supplement some very interesting chord progressions in A that might fit.........

Key and concertina
Hi Ben
Yeah you're right but there's no choice in the drop down menu for F# minor so I just went for the nearest key signature. I meant to make a note about that in the first comment. Thanks for reminding me....Any other concertina players tried this one yet? Its a beauty to twist the fingers around

Variation
Pere, the same variation is on 'Upside Down', but the second c is natural! Very Jazzy!

As is mentioned in the comments of Roddy MacDonalds the g's should be natural not sharp
