Tell us something.: We’re two Irish lads based in Geelong, Victoria, Australia and we create a weekly Irish music podcast about tunes and how people fell in love with the music. It’s really good, even if we say so ourselves ; )

Shannon Heaton (Flute) - Ep 65 - Blarney Pilgrims Podcast

Post by BlarneyPilgrimsPod »

Hello, Shannon Heaton joins us on the Blarney Pilgrims Podcast this week. Hope you enjoy, it's such a great chat. Details below:

...

A Belgian neighbour in Nigeria and a first encounter with the recorder and whistle; traditional music in Thailand and a global musical imagination; Maria Carey, melismatic singing, Paddy Tunney and the Ulster song tradition; Irish music with Chris and Aidan and John, and meeting Matt Molloy. Holding on to a singer so they don’t drift away. Composing, teaching and podcasting, constructing a living in music. And, you know, heart and soul stuff - like hope.

This was a lovely experience, recording this episode. Early in the Boston morning for Shannon, late in the Barwon Heads night for us.

Thank you Shannon.



Right, go on, good luck.,

Tell us something.: I am a whistle player, hoping to learn to play the flute I recently bought. Regular session player, and currently learning Josefin’s Waltz!

Tell us something.: I really enjoy the information and experience from the members on this forum. I've learned so much from the long time members about ITM, flutes, and whistles in general. I also enjoy the humor and culture. Instrument reviews have been helpful and the posts on embouchure are priceless. As I generally don't get out to sessions, the information from this board is my only connection at times to the music.

Yes! I listened to the Kevin Crawford and Shannon Heaton podcasts and they were loads of fun. I'm thinking I may check out the mandolin players as well on the podcast. Thank you for putting those together.
