The series aired several months ago. I didn't see it but I know several people took up something to make a bit of tellie, I know one went to Mary Bergin to learn the whistle but I forget what the others did or who they were.

Irish Times article about the whistle program.

I would have liked to see the end result, too. Did he ever play the piece he was working on?

Just click on Ceol Music button when you're done with Part I and you'll find Part II.

does anybody know who carries the album that has that Soaring Kestrel song? (John McCarthy/Pat Crowley--Fool's Dream)

I checked Celtic Grooves already; they don't have it. (neither does emusic or itunes)

cheers,

Thanks for posting this - yes, it's wonderful! He was very brave to perform solo in public like that after a relatively short time. I hope he's still playing and enjoying it.

Brave?

That took balls.

Not bad for six months from scratch... just awful but not bad at all for picking up a very difficult instrument.

He didn't lack in mentors though.

Jezus.

It was the feckin flute pantheon.

The whistle was much easier...

Thanks for the clip. That is just plain encouraging! I'm 57 and started with this music 2 years ago, first on whistle and am working on flute now too. I've had great teachers and local musicians are amazing. Playing with them is like a constant dose of humble pie. But they're kind. All the practice/playing at home is worth it though because this music is infinitely giving. I wish I could "play well with others"

but maybe in a year or two. If this is what you're drawn to I say just do it... at any age!
