Anything Bill Whelan

I love Bill Whelan stuff - this is the first I've seen of his stuff on here but hope there is more - even though I own the music folio, CD, VHS of various productions, etc!

Anything Davey Spillane too -

2nd part...

If you listen to the recording of this song...there's another part to it before it goes into Women of the Sidhe. Does anyone know where to find this?
