I learned this setting from the great flute playing of Damien Stenson. Damien is known for his extensive repertoire, flowing style and funny one liners that are sure to get a laugh. He is a native of Co Sligo and wheel man for the band Teada.

This tune is popular in the Baltimore/Washington area. A great flute tune that I learned from the local session. I love this tune partly because C major is such a great sounding key on the flute. Unfortunately, there are not many tunes that fit so well like this one.

This tune is one of the most recorded tunes of all time. I first remember hearing this tune being played at my local session and falling in love with it. It is a great Edorian flute tune that is always fun to play.

This tune I learned from Dan Isaacson of Baltimore. A great Irish flute player who plays on all sides of the box but inside. Dan has taught me many great tunes but this one has really stuck with me.

This tune I learned from Peter Brice. I first met Peter one day at the session at J Patrick's in Baltimore. Peter is known for finding great tunes such as this one. Even though Peter is a box player the tunes that I have learned from him are great on the Irish flute.
