Tinwhistle Classes
The Instructor
Instructor Turlach Boylan grew up on a farm in County Derry, the
oldest of seven children. He began playing Irish music in earnest on
the flute at the age of 16 studying with County Antrim flute master
John Kennedy. Turlach has lived in the US since 1989, and toured
extensively with the traditional band Glen Road, performing for
audiences of all ages.
A reviewer for Dirty Linen, the premier American Folk magazine
described a track from Turlach's album Shame The Devil as 'probably
the best recording of tinwhistle music I have ever heard'
In addition to flute and whistle Turlach plays Irish music on banjo
and mandolin.
