Does anyone know where I can find Tabs for Irish whistle on the net?  Tried surfing about a bit, but couldn't seem to find much. Do any of you out there play this instrument? :)

Thanks! jonnyw :)  yes, do mean penny whistle. Some time ago,I bought a bamboo one for a couple of quid,kept it in my kitchen just so I could play something as & when.Then, I got myself a Feadog D whistle began to teach myself to play by ear like everything else. But was just curious to try out a few tabs to see how they go compared to what I've interpreted,that's all. Any you can help with would be great :D Was also thinking of getting a low whistle at some stage to try. Apart from a very old and treasured Mandolin(dosen't get played),a harmonica,and dodgy keyboards I have no other musical instruments at home( like a lot of people my budget can't get what I'd like piano,flute ........ from originaly thinking of the whistle as a fun,affordable ,pick up/put down little instrument soon gained respect for it's capabilities & now become my latest obsession.
