It is mostly in English, with some bits of Irish.<\/p>\n<p>You can find music for Sackow&#8217;s \/ Tripping Up The Stairs, the jig I play on the whistle at the beginning of this episode, <a href=\"https:\/\/thesession.org\/tunes\/111\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The slow air I play on the low whistle, <em>Amhr\u00e1n na Leabhar<\/em> (The Song of the Books), was written by Tom\u00e1s Rua \u00d3 S\u00failleabh\u00e1\u00edn (1785-1848), a school teacher and poet who lost all his possessions, including his books,  in a storm when they were being ferried between Derrynane Bay to Valentia Harbour. He wasn&#8217;t in the boat at the time, and wrote this song afterwards. It is also known as <em>Cuan Bh\u00e9il Inse<\/em> [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sceilig.com\/amhran_na_leabhar.htm\">source<\/a>].
