Fantastic, and what a beautiful rendition of the old tune. Although I’m a Scot, my mother’s surname was Murphy, and we knew the tune as FatherMurphy’s Air, so it had a special significance for us. That aside, your teaching is wonderful…..I’ve been playing tin whistle for over 50yrs trying to get that breathy Irish style….not always successfully! This is a great help.

Hi Robert, this tune commemorates the campaign of Father John Murphy and his army in County Wexford during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. It's a song also.
The first Irish “convicts” sent to Australia were rebels from Wexford and Wicklow, in the aftermath of the 1798 rebellion. Probably the best known was Michael Dwyer, a captain in the United Irishmen, who continued a guerrilla campaign in the Wicklow mountains, after the main rebellion was defeated.
Can you please let me know the brand of the whistle that you are playing with in this video. I really like the sound of it and would get one for myself.

In Australia that tune accompanies a song called "Morton Bay". A naration by an Irish convict.
