Introducing The Blackthorn Stick Jig for Low and High D Whistles

In this video I introduce The Blackthorn Stick jig for us to play on our low and high D whistles. This is a fun and popular tune we should all know. I walk us through each of the parts, play the entire tune, share thoughts on challenges you might experience learning the tune, share some ornamentation ideas, and then talk about the history of the tune.

Select the video on the right to learn the tune with me.
