I don't know too much about this tune - it isn't played in my area although I've seen it listed in "common session tune lists". I do find this tune a good easy one for the flute/whistle. I get a good kick out of it's range & melody. Is this tune popular in anyone else's neighborhood?

Willie Coleman's
This is one of my favorite jigs, Brad, learned from the playing of Kevin Burke. It also goes by the name of Mice in the Cupboard. I've tried to introduce it at our local session a number of times, but no one else seems particularly interested. Perhaps my playing detracts from the tune's natural grace, or maybe it just sounds more difficult than it actually is....

It gets played every week in Sydney. These days we usually follow it with The Rose In The Heather into Aaron's Key.

Will & Brad, try this variation of the B part with some nice twists and turns and tasty C#s:
