I case you haven't seen this, Kyle Borley is attempting to play ALL the tunes in O'Neill's 1001. At a rate of one a day it will take him three years

Re: ALL of O'Neill's
He appears to be playing them on at least four different instruments. I wouldn't be able to play one a day on a whistle; it usually takes me a day or three to pick up a new tune, and dance tunes would cert require more time! Maybe some day I'll pick up a copy of O'Niell's 1001 and give it a go.
