There's a video on YouTube entitled "Irish Hornpipes - Wouter Kellerman on Fife - The Live Sessions (Part 1)". Kellerman is performing on a Yamaha fife but I assume that it can be performed on a whistle. I don't yet know if forum rules allow me to link to YouTube videos but you can search for it by that specific name.
Is he playing a medley of traditional tunes that I can look-up the fingerings for?
Can someone ID the tunes played in this video?

The Boys of Bluehill/Harvest Home/Belfast hrnp Following in James Galway's footsteps, by the looks of it.
All I can say, if you want to learn the whistle or Irish music in an even remotely traditional way, do not learn from players like this.

" I can now look up the proper whistle tutorials on YouTube". Please be careful with that. From what I've seen, the majority of whistle players who claim to "teach" Irish tunes on "Youtube" have absolutely no clue about playing traditional Irish music.

Since you ask: There is a rather extensive ´sticky´ thread here of Youtube whistle-playing and background of the basis for the aesthetics.viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49647 This is really a fascinating and enjoyable resource.
