Just keep spinning and spinning...
One of the most beautiful waltzes ever!
Like so many of Andy Cutting's tunes, this piece is a real cracker.
It's often played with another of Andy's tunes, In a Continental Mood:

Originally in A-Minor, but I transposed it up to B-Minor.
Let's go waltzin'!

I would prefer the original key and the notation from Blowzabella with guitarchords:

Well, I didn't take the melody from a printed source, Blowzabella or not, but from the 'Panic At The Café' recording by Nigel & Andy.
As a matter of fact, here in Germany, a lot of people tend to play the tune in B-Minor (at least the Irish fraction, the Bal Folk people play it in proper A-Minor), so I deceided to put it down in B instead of A.

Flatw'e'ld
I was taught this tune by Karen Tweed as 'Flatweld'

Yet Another Key...
The recording by Rodney Miller and Airdance is actually in E minor. Great key for flute and whistle and gives it a nice dark sound...
