anyone else play this tune? have a look at the second part - it reminds me of maggies pancakes with all the syncopation - i wonder if any flute players have recorded either

Not sure if it is flute or whistle, but it has been recorded at least twice, according to thesession.org

See the Martin Nolan CD, “Travel 'N Style”. Martin is an amazing Dublin-based uilleann piper who learned to his piping from Paddy Keenan’s father, John Sr.

He adapted it to the uilleann chanter very well - it might be a bit more flute friendly interpretation, give it a listen and see what you think.

The Kitchen Piper is related to The Clumsy Lover via their compser, Neil Dickie. Its origin is for the GHB as is The Clumsy Lover.
