Drunken Acrobat
This is a great tune by Colin Farrell that I got from the Flook album 'haven'. They play it in E so that's how I've submitted it but for whistlers it's best played on an A whistle for Emaj. Here it is in A.

And here they are playing it. It's the second tune.

Egad, this means he must be playing the "Asturian Way" set on a B whistle!... Thank goodness I own one...

I do quite love Colin Ferrel's tunes. All of the ones I've heard thus far I've loved.
# Posted on April 8th 2009 by JosephofCK
Aye, he's playing it there on an Overton B, the above is for an A whistle as they're more common but obviously just transpose the above down one note the the G shape scale to get E major on a B whistle (if that makes any sense
)

Actually, from watching the video, it looks like Brian's playing in A on an A whistle, but I may not have seen right. It wouldn't be a shock if it were a B, seeing how as he used one on the "Mouse Jigs" set.

Joe, so my version it is he plays !?
# Posted on April 9th 2009 by swisspiper
No Swisspiper, either way he is not playing your version. Some notes are in the wrong octave and you've also missed out notes.
