I am quite new to this forum and I really enjoy spending my time here A friend of me asked me to play scottish music on a wine and whiskey testing / party (oh nooo, first time playing in front of audience ). I am not very familiar with scottish tunes like I am with irish ones. Thats why I would really appreciate to get some recommends for scottish tunes or tune sets that are suitable for an advanced beginner on low whistle like me (solo player).
To be honest though I think youād get away with playing Irish tunes, sure whoās going to know over there if they are Irish or Scottish??? Even people over here sometimes argue over where certain tunes come from!
Niel Gowās Farewell to Whiskey (slow air sometimes played as a reel)
Highland Whisky (strathspey)
Ferintosh (strathspey, named after the biggest whisky factory of the late 18th century)
New Claret (9/8 jig)
Thank you so much I will have to have a look for the sheet music now, my Kelpie is waiting. There are some really nice tunes and also some I allready know. I hope it works out fine.
A neglected tune for whistle (in my opinion) is āBonnie Dundeeā. Itās a pleasure to play.
One of my sets is called the Cavalry set: The Girl I left Behind me (Waxies Dargle), Garryowen, and Bonnie Dundee. The first two arenāt Scottish, I regret to say.
