Selkie, hi, I’ve been looking for a sound-file of this tune in the web, since I love playing airs, do you know where I could find it?
Thanks alot,
Amar.
The otter’s holt isn’t an air, is it? I’ve only heard it played quickly.
how embarassing, yes, I just did another search in the net, and came up with this: http://www.artistdirect.com/store/artist/album/0,,1034359,00.html
You may ask “what’s so embarassing about that?”
Well, I’ve got mcgolrick’s album “fused”…

I believe The Otter’s Holt is a reel. It’s in one of the sets on The](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/folk/acoustic_club/launch.shtml%22%3EThe) Virtual Session, so you could go there and play along. Like the version you have already have, this one also features Mike McGoldrick. I really like playing this tune.
By the way, also on the BBC site, there is currently an](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/folk/features/f_flookintaug02.shtml%22%3Ean) interview with Flook

I got it from the book ‘The Irish Fiddle’ by Paul Mc Nevin Expensive book but lots of easy to learn whistle on tunes in it.
