Almost forgot about that tune, it's a good one worth learning in any case IMO! :)

I have it in my mind that Bill Whelan wrote it?

Hi John,

It's called Antice and is also on Eastwind by Andy Irvine, Davy Spillane, Bill Whelan et al. Great album, deffo get it if you don't already have it. It's a traditional Macadonian piece according to the liner notes.

So there you have it :-)

Patrick
