- Tell us something.: I have grown up surrounded by Irish music and culture and have played the whistle since first grade. I love playing the various instruments I have aquired over the years and would love to help others with their instruments in any way I can.

Thank you for sharing! I highly encourage any C&F posters in that area to consider either becoming active members of the organization, or, if they would like to polish up their skills, to consider taking lessons from the teachers. I know several of the teachers and highly recommend them. They frequently have great resources for musicians at any level 
Cheers!
Cheers!

Great set of flute players there! Looked at the fiddle list as well, and when it listed two fiddlers older than Michael Coleman, I told myself, "This is Jeff Ksiazek's doing." And while I don't see any credit on the fiddle page, he is indeed credited on the flute page.

Just noticed that the flute in the picture on this web page is one of Pat Olwell’s with a side b-flat key!

I found that there are two albums from Peter Horan on iTunes. I was wondering if anyone knows of any albums from these older flute players? Thanks.

I presume it's the albums with Gerry Harrington on iTunes? There's an older album Peter did with Fred Finn, Music of Sligo, but it is wildly out of print at this point so far as I know.Connor Toole wrote:I found that there are two albums from Peter Horan on iTunes.

When you say "older" I'm assuming you don't mean McEvoy and Molloy, both of whom are still living and have released multiple albums.
