Re: Sessions in Wexford?
Hi - there's a fella on "thesession.org" named John E Roche who is from Wexford, and seems very knowledgeable about the traditional music of that county. He has posted one session which takes place on a Sunday afternoon, but the last mention was 2 years ago. I have had correspondence with ...

Re: Flute recordings - Happy St. Patrick's Day 2024
Thanks Mr. G. I must have missed that discussion, 5 years ago now, but I look forward to chasing up the Comhaltas link you included.

Flute recordings - Happy St. Patrick's Day 2024
Welcome back, C&F - we missed you. In celebration of St. Patrick's Day 2024, I've uploaded a few flute audio clips to Youtube, 1 - 3 reels by Desi Wilkinson on Bb flute - accompanied by a few photos I took of Desi on trips to Scotland in the late 1970s / 1980s - ie, when we all had hair. https:/...

Just posted this in the "Flute Forum" discussion list, but despite the word "whistle" not being included in our title, we do welcome whistle players to our events as well -

10th FluteFling : Edinburgh 19-21 April
Hard to believe that it is 10 years since we started this venture. Since then, we have branched out to include additional events in Aberdeen, extended our original scope to include whistles, and produced "The FluteFling Collection" tunebook - [ fewer than 20 left out of the initial run of ...

Mary Bergin in Aberdeen next week...
... and I am to have the pleasure of conducting a public interview / conversation with her. I've got a good idea which topics I'm going to ask her about, but would welcome any suggestions in case there's anything I've not considered. Or if anyone has a specific question they might like an answer to,...

Re: Tune Identification please.....
"The Jolly Beggarman / Little Beggarman" is the song.

https://youtu.be/i3RwlB_Tf4M?si=3wEXa36WxLWYr8MZ
The tune is called "The Red-Haired Boy", - and much else besides.

Re: Name that flute player
That would be right, Mr.G. His name is in the 1976 programme as winner of both flute AND whistle in the 11 - 14 age group from the previous year, ie 1975. He won the 14 - 16 flute competition in 1976, and as I recall, got a standing ovation for his performance, the only time I've ever seen that in a...

Name that flute player
Here's a bit of fun. I've been posting on Youtube a few recordings I made at the All-Ireland Fleadh in Buncrana, Co. Donegal in 1976, and came across this video, from a year earlier, 1975 : There's a young flute player playing "The Bucks Of Oranmore" at 3m 13 secs. I'm fairly certain I kno...
