Tune 537 - Whistle at Her

    An English tune about which I can find no information Update Well if you post it on t'internet the info will come and find you. This from my chum Martin Ellison - The 'Whistle at her' tune is actually a stylised version of 'Wind the Bobbin Up'. We (Martin and Roger Edwards) didn't know what to call it but it ended up with a name inspired by my mum's broad Lancashire accent. She pronounced 'we shall have to' (eg 'hurry up' or 'be going') as 'we's'll atter'. The name stuck but transformed into 'Whistle at Her'.
