Ashokan Farewell played on Tin Whistle

Whilst out walking Dug this afternoon I did two recordings of this beautiful waltz sitting at different parts of the river Conwy in Snowdonia National Park in north Wales, the first on a Syn high D, and the second on a Holifield high D. I've uploaded them together as one video. P.S. Around the 01:30 mark on the second video Dug notices my wife appearing down the path and runs to greet her, so perhaps I should've called this version "Ashokan Greeting" LOL!

Of all versions played on you tube this is THE ONE, played by a master, beautiful and a grand dog!

This is lovely. Thankyou. Am very familiar with Conwy area so this was just right. For some reason this tune makes me think of Shetland though I've not heard it there. I think it's the wistfulness.
