MacIntyre: I have learnt only Dirty old town from those. It is fairly easy. If you start in D, then go in G,A,H...that´s the start...can you read sheet music? If so, I can send you some.
And Dirty old town is really easy when you know where to begin and have some feeling for whistle.

Can you please, please finish this out? I'm dying to learn this tune!

I've had my whistle for about a week and came here to see if there was any Pogues sheet music. Can't find any anywhere that are not traditional. But it took me a few minutes to work out Dirty Old Town. This is more or less it on my Walton's plastic D whistle (sounds like a bloody recorder this thing, I wanna get a proper one that comes through clearly like on the Shane Macgowan CD's and Christy Moore/Macgowan Spancil Hill video):

D G A B
G A B G D
B D# E# D# B A G B
D# E# D# B
G A B G D
E G B A
A G D E

I also found some tabs to download of some more basic stuff: http://rapidshare.com/files/198958151/A ... e-Tabs.zip

If anyone has the tin whistle keys to Aisling or Snake with Garnet then post them up so I can keep stirring up the hounds in my valley.

I just ordered a tin whistle. It comes in a "starter kit" with a book called "Learn to play the Irish tin whistle" as well as a CD.

Thank you so much!!

Received my whistle in the mail yesterday, and while it seems easy (or, a better word for it: doable), it's actually harder than you'd think! After a bit of failing miserably, as well as wondering whether my whistle was broken ( ), I managed to make some nice sounds come out of it. Now to learn some songs!

Saw such links to some sheet sites. Esp. Streams of Whiskey and Sally MacLennan would be very interessting for me and my Whistle

Folkpunktabs.com site offers this.

Sadly this site is down. Does anyone has a new link?

Here are the notes to the Pogues cover of Japan
# is the the number of holes covered, * is over blown, x is when the first hole is not covered but the rest are:

42122 1x5*x122 1x5*x1224554566

Pretty simple, but sounds really nice on the whistl.
