From BARDE recording
I learn this tune from a french whistler
who tell me about BARDE in 1978
This is from my old papers
and I enjoy play it with some B syncopated thru bar 7 and 8

Whistle tune
It's very interesting that you learned this tune from a whistler. Too much range for that instrument. Did you change the key? This tune is playable on the flute in E modal or D. I haven't actually done this yet myself. Boehm would be easier than simple system unless one has a an solid and quick speaking high E. I like the tune, if I every get around to transposing I will repost. These rangely reels are fun on the flute.

Fiddle tune
Indeed, the whistle player does not play the sames notes as the fiddle.The transcript is from BARDE recording.
More about this tune there.

red_tiger - You can transpose the tune up a 4th or 5th if you want, but most flute/whistle players would tackle it by simply taking low notes (or possibly the whole A-part) up an octave.

Fiddle tune allright
Yup, Chris Crilly is a (damn good) fiddle player.
I had transcribed it from how I'd learned it (a bit simplified, but functional).
One thing (I had picked up from some Salty Dogs) that I find fun in this tune is bending the e down in the second measure and then the b in turn in the third, and again in the sixth and seventh measures, indicating to other musicians a fermata over those notes. I never did figure how to write that kind of bend in abc notation though
