I’m selling 2 great whistles made few years ago by J.Proux (France).
I have a huge collection of his whistles and I need to find some money to buy new microphones for my band.

Thanks Steve, but I think that’s the non-Planxty version which seems to be the only version available in sheet music form (I can’t make heads of tails of ABC without an enormous amount of concentration).
And apologies to the OP for hijacking his thread …although, on the bright side, it does keep it near the top of the bin.
Reading abc is pretty simple, just copy the abc text and paste here to turn it into sheet music.
The abc version, while not being exactly what Planxty is doing in the video, provides the skeleton of the tune as they play it. You’ll have to pick out their embellishments/twists from listening — and, of course, learn the words.
Jacky Proux is the kind of guy who doesn’t like computers, internet and mobile phones: so, no website yet.
I have played a lot of whistles for years (copeland, burke, goldie, fred rose, sindt, etc.) and the day I played for the first time a Proux whistle: it was like a dream!
Actually I have got 7 whistles, and each of them was made by Jacky (High D, 2 high C, G, F, Low D, Low Bb). The G whistle is the best whistle in the world: you have to try it before dying!
But - and I don’t know what I was thinking - Loïc is actually playing the Paul Brady setting, which is the other commonly-known version. So sorry for the confusion. I’m sure you can find this other setting as ABC as well.
