Musically, I really like this ! . . . though, I wonder about the bass. Makes the overall mix sound very thick, because of the bass long sustain ? I just had to turn the volume down because of that, but the acoustic guitar and flute solo part work very well.

I’m listening in the van, so take this with a grain of salt. The bottom is a bit boomy. Maybe it’s the sustained bass notes. Maybe some judicious use of high pass filtering. 
Great tune, so ?‘s here!

Very nice clear guitar tones - agree the bass needs looking at, otherwise good stuff

probably could benefit from a high pass filter.  Other than that, musically it progresses nicely and keeps the listener on the hook.

very nice tune there Tim, enjoy it very much....Celtic songs are one of my favorite genre's....maybe take a bit of treble off the guitars....take some low end off the bass....flute is fine ????

Thanks for all of the comments from everyone! Very helpful.

I decided to remix this tonight based on the suggestions received here.

Things I changed-

I removed the Abbey Road Chambers and replaced it with Phoenix reverb using a wide chamber. 

I did EQ work on the guitar softening it substantially using a combination of dynamic EQ and normal EQ.

I changed the tempo from 122 to 115.

I replaced the Bass in Modo Bass from a Fender to a Paul Mcartney style bass. I made the touch softer and lowered the volume making various other changes in Modo Bass.

I remastered the track to be less aggressive so it sits lower on the LUFS scale now.

I corrected the cut off tail at the end.
