I´ve heard to 3 dozen Altan songs and none sofar sounds like the one I´m looking for… :dubious:
Back to square 1.
Hmmm, perhaps someone knows a good celtic music forum where I may get some further help? 
When I listened to the clip I immediately thought of Joanie Madden. The more I listen to it, the more I’m sure it is from her work with Cherish the Ladies. I’ll dig a bit and see if I can’t find the track in my collection.
I´d be more than grateful, MikeG.
The bad news is I was wrong on the artist.
The good news is I identified the song 
It’s on a Christmas album I rarely listen to so it took me a while to remember it.
It’s “When the Snow Melts” By Phil Cunningham and Manus Lunny which is track 1 on Celtic Christmas by Windham Hill Records.
You threw me when you said there was no singing. There is a bit. I hope this helps you, I think I’m still batting 1.000 for identifying Irish/celtic music on the boards
I’m going to put a copy in my shared folder.
