It is remarkable that an Emaj tune can be played successfully, 4 sharps away from the NSP's home key. It might be easier if the tune was on a gapped scale rather than full-blown E major, but it is hard to avoid the E-B interval, which isn't quite a 5th on NSP, but should be in this key.
Playing on the keys rather than fingerholes slows us mortals down, too. I'd like to see the dots or abc of the tune, just to know what some people are managing nowadays.

I've asked her for the dots if poss. Something has clicked in my old brain and I'm thinking it might have been a jig - not a reel - but it fairly rocked along.
