Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Tell us something.: I have a fascination for musical instruments of all kinds, and though I'm not a very good player I have a small collection of acoustic instruments including 5 recorders, 3 tin whistles , 3 guitars and 2 ukuleles.

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

I skipped a few bits of that. There were occasional moments when I thought, "No, this man actually can play."

Tell us something.: I'm a pro musician. I mainly perform on saxes/flutes/clarinets, but also play whistles and kavals from time to time. I've recently added Northumbrian Small Pipes to the collection too

Paul is a good friend and one of the very best sax/woodwind improvisors in the world right now. I get that this approach to piping isn't to everyone's taste, but he's legit. I'd recommend Robin Williamson's album 'Skirting the River Road' for more experiments in improvised folk
