Who knew that Scottish concertina master Simon Thoumire is also such a great whistle player? In fact, I'm preparing his fantastic setting of "Haste to the Wedding" and "Merry Blacksmith" for my next session, paying special attention to the percussion solos. I may have to substitute Mountain Dew for Irn Bru and Fritos for the crisps. But hey, you know ... America!

So it is ok to have chips and soda around whilst whistling.

Hi MTGuru
I like this one from many moons ago Simon Thoumire and Jim Sutherland - If I remember correctly it came from the Shetland Sessions (the precursor to the Highland and Transatlantic sessions).
Clare, his wife, is no mean fiddler Set of Polkas.

Re: Simon Thoumire: whistle god
Thanks Guru! I'm a big fan of Simon Thoumire and seeing the video and following his youtube channel I've discovered that he has just recordered a new album with the guitarist Ian Carr!
BTW, the whistle video is awesome.
