A’ Chiad Cheum

This is a simple, bare bones sort of transcription of an Eamon Doorley tune from the Julie Fowlis album “Uam”. Recording here: https://youtu.be/i27zaRhNcxQ

No, it’s not a barndance, but that seemed the closest to the feel of the tune. It’s in F on the album, but I’ll follow up with a version in D for whistle players equipped with low F whistles.

Here’s the same setting in D for low-F whistle players.

This has been posted here already, but for some strange reason, I can’t find it anywhere using “search”. Very odd.

Seems I was mistaken. My apologies.
