  • Heya there, yeah the first tune's called 'The Jewels of the Ocean' or 'Seudan A'Chuain' which is its Gaelic name, a tune composed by my dad, Allan MacDonald. Its really a waltz, but has a feel in 6/4 instead of 3/4. Great to see this video. It's a good recording.

  • And what's really screwy, is that I ALSO play flute and whistle lefty! I can't tell you how many people told me "that's wrong!"- Including my girlfriend!! (who played silver flute) - Now- Years' later, I play Professionally- LEFTY!! lol...

  • Dave Sheridan has a reallly beautiful version of that waltz on the album: "In Sheridan's Guesthouse"

  • Sharon Shannon rocks!!!!!

  • He's playing an F whistle here. They're playing the tune i in the key of Bb here, like playing in the key of G on a D whistle.

  • well not a D, that for sure

  • Is Mike playing a low Eb or D whistle?

  • Beautiful waltz, you have reasons to feel proud about it. I´m so happy to have find it, i´m a flute player and it will be soon part of my repertoire of tunes.

  • you could be thinking of athena tergis

  • Thanks a lot! I love this tune!

  • It's a waltz indeed and it was composed by Allan MacDonald according to the sleeve of the cd "Tunes" by the three musicians in the video. Track 3. It's called the Jewels of the Ocean
