This lovely jig is found in John McSherry’s and Mike McGoldrick’s album "At First Light". John McSherry plays it perfectly on the Low D whistle. The main idea is to roll as much as possible. Just roll and roll and roll all the notes that last longer than 1/8. John also "spams" this tune with graces and staccato triplets, but I find it most tiring and absolutely impossible to imitate him… 🙁

A Liz Carroll composition

Another great one.

A very special jig, from one with a touch!

Setting closer to McSherry and McGoldrick version

I just added a second setting, which is closer to what John McSherry and Michael McGoldrick play.
The low B, in the fourth bar of the second part is obviously played one octave up when they play it on whistles and bagpipes.
