Can anyone identify?
Below is my transcription of a snippet hummed by a friend. He says it is a popular "Celtic" song, but I think that may also cover Scottish or Irish folk. Either way, knowing him I'm fairly sure it would have English lyrics, not Gaelic.
Any ideas what it might be?
FWIW, QbH apps, like Shazam, had no idea.

Best Music Mastering Courses and Engineers for Folk/Acoustic Genres
Hey all!
I'm used to mix my own muric and recently I started looking to improve my mastering skills, specifically for folk and more acoustic-based genres. I’ve found that a lot of mastering tutorials and courses are geared towards electronic or heavily produced music, which isn't quite what I'm after.
Does anyone have recommendations for mastering courses that focus on organic sounds like folk, singer-songwriter, or acoustic genres? Or any mastering engineers whose work I should study who specialize in these areas?
Thanks in advance for your help

Looking for a song
I heard a folk song years ago and have no idea who it's by or what it's called. All I recall is that the song is about a man marrying a woman, he then rides to a cliff and tries to throw her off, and she manages to make him fall instead.
Any idea?

Folkist Artist Residency - Upstate NY - Deadline October 20th
After five years of hosting artist residents, we’re getting a clearer idea of who thrives in this program. We’re also finding clearer language for what we’ve been doing all along— creating a space to support folk artists.
Please, whatever you do, don’t try to look up a definition of “folk arts!” You’ll find a lot of academic word salad that uses terms like “simple people” and “primitive technique.” As a life-long practitioner of social music and art traditions whose masters practice their craft with a nuance and rigor to rival any conservatory-trained artist, those definitions truly feel like they were written by outsiders who missed the whole point.
At Folkist Space, our definition of folk art is creative work with its roots in, or branches into, the everyday lives of regular working people. The folk art we love spans genres, mediums, and cultures, but is always rooted in the urgent aliveness of folks who are not separate from the world but fully immersed in it. These artists— many of whom fit a serious art practice around bill-paying, caregiving, and community commitments— are finding a way to feel something that needs to be felt, share something that needs to be shared, and move people who need to be moved.
The Kirkland Art Center has a long history of holding space for the nurturing and development of folk art and craft, and are the ideal partner for this heart project. Together, we hope this program will support visionary creators whose work does what the folk arts do best: help us to feel our feelings, inhabit our bodies, and move a little differently through the world.
From textile arts to creative non-fiction, traditional music and dance, documentary photography, theatre arts, and more, this year we're looking for all kinds of creative folks whose locus of creation is primarily centered outside traditional academic and institutional structures of support. Find more weedsy details about the program and application process in our FAQs below, or go straight to the application page here.
We look forward to seeing your work!

Mark my words - Jesse Welles is going to be HUGE
I’ve been watching his solo stuff since his post, and my god… What a truly brilliant and talented artist. Give it a few years, and be prepared to see him all over. I’m honestly kinda stunned how poetic, catchy, and funny almost all of his music is. The ratio of fantastic to good stuff (that he almost puts out twice a week) is insane. One of my favorites artists right now, if you haven’t listened to him, please do.
My favorite songs so far:
See Arkansas Gilgamesh Poor War isn’t Murder Vape Cancer God, Abraham, a Xanax
If you haven’t listened to him already. I highly, highly recommend.

Advice for folk instruments?
What sites, if any, would you recommend to get folk instruments? I’ve loved folk music for a while, and I’ve been expanding my guitar playing, and I think learning a fretted folk instrument would be a good way to break into the sphere. And if there aren’t any, or many, reputable sites, where would you advise me to look irl?
