Whistle tune repertoire?

[Hothir Ethelnor]

I have been playing whistles for 5 years now and I'm interested in broadening my repertoire.

I play by ear.

So, what are some of your favorite Scottish jigs reels or slower songs (even piping tunes)

And of course Irish tunes are sure to be in abundance as well.

If you could do a youtube link or something I would prefer it but I am capable of looking up recordings myself.

So, fire away...

I play by ear also and I just learned two songs on my cittern. Wild Mountain Thyme and Both Sides The Tweed. They're both slow songs but great melodies.

Just starting up myself, also by ear. Doing well with Down in the Sally Garden (slow) and Out on the Ocean (jig). Working on Tripping up the Stairs (jig) and Si Bheag, Si Mhor (slow).

A great combination is Tripping up the Stairs followed by Mooncoin.

Garryowen sounds very appropriate on the whistle. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbSji7BntPM)

The *** in the Graveyard works well (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3FMekii50I)

Wow, I started with Down in the Sally Garden and my third jig was Tripping up the stairs.

I'll have to look up those other ones.

I have done the following jigs.

Killavil or the Road to Killavil (I think they're the same tune...)
Tripping up the stairs
Mary Jane
Blarney Pilgrim
Musical Priest
Starkindler

The slower airs I know beyond an abundance of hymns and non celtic tunes.

Down in the Sally Garden
Carrickfergus
Raglan Road
My Lagan Love
Mountains of Mourne
She Moved through the Fair
Peggy Gordon
Boulavogue
of course everyone know Danny Boy...
Come By the Hills
Morning has Broken.

I am working on Flaming Red Hair, from the Extended Lord of the Rings Fellowship soundtrack... That one's a trip...

I've heard Garryowen before but never worked on it... I'll have to get that one playing...
