Today we're learning to play a lovely Irish folk song called The Rare Auld Times written by Pete St. John for the Dublin City Ramblers in the 70s. We're playing in the style of Irish band 'The Dubliners'. You'll need a C whistle to use these tabs and play along with the original linked below, or a D whistle to learn with my tutorial. Happy Whistling!
