Re: Aluminum whistle modifications
I'm wondering if anyone on the planet does this other than Colin Goldie Undercutting and voicing of toneholes is a common practice in making wind instruments. It is not some dark art. In fairness, a lot of metal (high) whistles will have walls too thin to use the technique effectively so it is not ...

Re: Duty and customs fees, IRL to UK
I suppose Richard was probably thinking of taking a flight. As I assume he realisses there is a ferry ride en route between the two cities that has no equivalent on the route between SF and LA. And in theory, spending £20 or so each way on a Ryanair flight sounds reasonable enough, if you ignore the...

Re: Francie McPeake - RIP
Yes, that is what he was singing when I took the pic above. It was a sore point, the family maintains Old Francis wrote the song. They pursued a copyright court case when Rod Stewart recorded it. And lost. Francie taught John Lennon the pipes. He was contacted by management, set up with an apartment...

Re: Book chapter - The structure of irish traditional music??
One thing that they have in common is that they attempt to describe tunes in melodic terms. If that's an angle you're interested in The melodic tradition of Ireland by James Cowdery may be of interest to you. It's from 1990 and probably out of print but interlibrary loans may be available.

Re: Paddy Taylor "Boy In The Gap" tracks now on Youtube
It's nice to see that back out there. I bought a copy of the lp in a clearance sale during the seventies for what would now be the equivalent of 3 euro. I listened to it a lot at the time. Some years ago I even got a spare copy off ebay for a similar amount, nobody else seemed interested, which seem...
