Hi all,
I am looking for a notation of “Portsmouth” as played by Mike Oldfield. I hope that it is a not-copyrighted folk song…
thanks for any help

Portsmouth was one of my first tunes (I was a big Mike Oldfield fan long before starting on whistles).
It’s quite a simple tune - particularly Mike’s version (and there are heaps of variations of Portsmouth around). I’d encourage you to try to figure it out by ear before resorting to sheet music.
