There is a lovely version of this at Brother Steve's tinwhistle pages. Played by Tommy McCarthy and called "The First Month of Summer".

Daimh/Tripswitch version

Does anyone have a transcription for the version of this played by Daimh and At First Light. It is quite different having been changed to the key of C so it would fit on the pipes!!

Thanks
