Hi Steve,What interesting news,-I'm sure that some of us out here would be obliged to you if you could furnish us with a transcription or two from that tape!

Reviving an old thread here, but it just came to my attention a couple of hours ago that Tom McHale's "Outlet" album - the first ever full LP record devoted to solo Irish traditional music played on whistle [ as far as I know ] - is now available in it's entirety on "iTunes" for the princely sum of £4.49. They are perpetuating the mistaken spelling on the original album, so you need to look for "Tom McHaile".

I "corrected" our listing in the Whistle Recordings sticky to reflect the typo.

I've been lucky enough to be given a couple of tapes of Tom McHale for transcription. The first one was done a while ago but I've only recently completed the second one.
Although there are 43 tracks on the second set, some are duplicates but of course there are subtle variations between them.
Contribution of tune names would be welcome.
