The Wren's Hornpipe

This really good A mix hornpipe is from Geraldine Cotter's whistle book and is different to the tune of the same name from O'Neill's collections

Ooooh, Red Haired Boy-esque.

What do you get when you cross...

Sounds like a cross between The First of May and The Red-Haired Boy. Perhaps there's the beginning of an interesting set in this.
