Tim Collins plays this tune in F because on that track of his CD he happens to be playing his Bb / F concertina. If he was playing the C / G concertina he uses on other tracks on the same CD, he'd be playing the tune in G. Since C / G is the standard concertina used in concert-pitch Irish sessions, the proper (i.e. most common) key for this tune is probably G rather than F - which might make it accessible to a few more folks. But go ahead and play it in F if you can - it does sound nice there. Although you may end up playing it by yourself if you do...

Not that playing along with whoosis in F would be difficult for a C/G concertina,
because it wouldn't be difficult at all.

Unless, of course,
nobody picked up the C/G concertina and played it.

I don't think Mr. Collins "happened" to be playing his Bb/F concertina. My guess is that he chose it for a reason on this track. And I'm glad he did, because this tune works great in F on fiddle or banjo, all those nice low notes.

Played in A
I believe the Mulcahey's play it in he key of A on their great CD, Notes From the Heart.
I hear the first two bars as: c#2e eebe c#Bc# A2c#... Hope I got that right....
