this is my first post and I’d just like to say how informative and interesting I’ve found this forum while reading through posts.
I have a Dixon brass D and an MK Low D … and love them both to bits!
So … here we go with my first question on the CFWF …
I heard a tune at a session some while ago and can only recall the first part of it. I’ve recorded what I can remember of it here http://www.box.net/shared/6s4nmlrig4 and was wondering whether anyone could tell me what it’s called?
It’s sending me mad and I’d dearly like to know how the rest of it goes.
Welcome to C&F. Your recording sounds like “Autumn Child”. A well known version is played by Lunasa on their Otherworld CD paired with “Heaton Chapel”. You can find the ABC’s on thesession.org at:
If you like that tune, you might also check out “Return From Fingal”, which coincidentally, Lunasa does a nice version of. It has a similar “feel” to “Autumn Child”. I’ve always liked them both.
thanks very much for suggesting this tune - it’s a lovely one and another to add to the steadily increasing repertoire.
I’ve only had my red MK whistle since February but it makes sitting down to learn new tunes - or practise old ones - a real pleasure.
