If someone knows where can I download the sheetmusic of exactly this version http://tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/Audio/2-03/TamLinrepriseLauraN.mp3 I’d be SO thankful! Please, help me, I MUST play that tune, lol.

Here’s a version; the same one, though probably a different arrangement. There’s also notation at http://www.tinwhistler.com/index.aspx you’ll have to find it though. I love this song!
BTW- Ever read the poem? After hearing the reel the first time I looked it up. The poem is a lot of fun to read.
Thanks!!!
I had already seen Mick’s version, but it’s quite different. I didn’t look in Tinwhistler (stupid me). I think there is the version I was looking for!
I love this song too!
I didn’t read the poem…
Thanks again!!

Yes, I’m playing it along with that recording and it’s the version!
Thanks again 
We often play that with Farewell to Chernobyl..they go together nicely…glad you could find the version you were lookin for on my site 
Bothrops,
There’s a powerful, haunting version on the CD “Stringdancer”. Its the last of a medely. They do it up around 120bpm.
It’s a great tune! Good luck!

Wow, you’re the maker of tinwhistler.com? Nice to meet you! You have one of the best websites IMHO. 
I don’t know ‘‘Farewell to Chernobyl’’ I’d have to take a look at it!
Cheers,
Martin
I’ll look for it! Thanks!!

That’s me…though I dunno about the “best” There’s a lot of good ones out there, and I try to like to them if I know about them. Thanks for the kind words, though!
That version is quite different from how it’s played in session here and on recordings I’ve heard, where it is in the key of D minor. To have it come out in the right key I play it on a low G whistle, and you have to half-hole F naturals (which on the G whistle come out as B flats).
Played as if you’re playing a D whistle the first part is:
/ EAAA EACA / Fnat2 AF CFAF / G2 BG dGBG / CgeC BBBA (x4)
In the 2nd bar I hold the half-hole Fnat as the “pedal” which the other fingers do the “rocking” motif.
The second part:
/ ag#ae Ceae / ag#ae Ceef# / ggdg ggdg / gdad ggg(breath) /
/ ag#ae Ceae / ag#ae CeeG / Fnat3 G AAAB / CgeC BBBA /
You also have to half-hole those high G sharps.
Repeated notes are to be seperated by cuts and pats in the usual way, so that AAA is a long roll on A and gg is a short roll on G etc.
My version basically came from Seamus Egan (the banjo one, not the flute one) and it blends with the session version well.
Sorry for my ignorance of ABC notation, I hope you get the idea.
