BIG WHISTLE WEEKEND 17th and 18th of Feb 2012 "last call"

Post by Brigitte »

Just thought as it was not mentioned before, this coming weekend, actually tomorrow is the Big Whistle Weekend in Bury/England. Wonderful line up and concerts to expect, small workshops and meet and greets and a chance to meet a few whistle makers there (íncl. George Ormiston, Misha Somerville and Colin Goldie, I believe Will Simmons is also there as well as the Big Whistle Shop)

Looking forward to seeing you :party:

Hi Brigitte. I'll be there. I'm really looking forward to the weekend. I didn't realise you and Colin were going to be there. I look forward to seeing you sometime over the weekend. :)

I think I posted a link about this sometime before Christmas somewhere on the boards but I don't think it got much response :). Anyway, hopefully see you soon.
Cheers

Knackered but happy back from the Big Whistle Weekend. It was nice to meet some people, like you David, that so far only knowing via email or telephone, finally being able to put a face behind the names. We really enjoyed the weekend even though very little sleep :lol: and I am pretty sure lots of people are in the same boat.

Searching youtube today to see if there is already a few vids on there that could be shared with you, so far no videos found from other bands but from The Treacherous Orchestra. So here the links in case someone likes to see a little of the music we could enjoy.

It is a nice, personal festival, the accoustic in the big festival room was fantastic and I think Phil Brown did a wonderful organising, mixing of different ingredients and made it a great experience. We are very happy we were able to go there.... so here some music to share with you
