Does anyone know the story behind this? Did Phil write the tune?

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

The Chiff & Fipple Forum rules! Even if I'm a newbie-ish penurious tone-deaf wannabe whistler. Look over to your left that's me.

Getting jiggy with it is one thing... however, Chiff deserves a March (as it rules whistledom) and deserves a beautiful Slow Air reelly! :thumbsup:

Maybe there ought to have been a "challenge". :)

Tell us something.: I play the whistle, I used to play flute but have Dupuytren's contracture so can only play whistle now which is fine. Mostly play sessions around Canterbury Kent area.

There was a good tune called 'Planxty Dale Wisely' way back in the mists of time! I have forgotten who wrote it but it went up on Clips and Snips. Someone will remember I am sure.

Sure! David de le Barre wrote the planxty. http://home.comcast.net/~david.delabarre/

Here are two interpretations. (there are more out there if you care to search)
