Eroticon VI reel

Yesterday the wrong tune was posted under this name. I hope I’m not stepping on the toes of azulyrojo89 who posted it but this is the original. I’ve posted it because Brian Finnegan has adapted the tune for whistle and Adam Sutherland, the composer of the tune, hasn’t recorded the original yet. So if Brian’s version is posted then it’s a bit unfair on the original.

Adam is a big fan of Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy and the tune was originally called “ The triple breasted wh*re of Eroticon VI” after the character of that name from the book. Apparently Brian recorded the tune before knowing the name and got a bit of a fright when told so Adam toned it down a bit for him. 🙂

It’s a really cracking tune
