What a fantastic album. I just got it a few months ago, and listen to it all the time, along with learning to play Aileen's slow jig and Crow Road Croft.
Re: Calum Stewart flute on Wooden Flute and Fiddle ?
I agree, a great album and those two tunes are beautiful.

Calum Stewart has become one of my favorites. His music has introduced me to a range of folk music and his playing is awe inspiring. What a talent—years of hard work, I’m sure.

By the way, does he still play the flute? On his website, he introduces himself as a piper, there's hardly any mention of the flute

Unfortunately I don't think he plays the flute anymore. What a shame. At least that is what I have read on this forum.

Re: Calum Stewart flute on Wooden Flute and Fiddle ?
His last album "Tales from the North" was in 2107 unless I missed something more recent, and three of the ten tunes on it were on flute.
He might follow that format on his next album project (if there is one), throwing in a few flute tunes just for variety. An album of only pipe tunes probably reaches a narrower audience of non-musicians. I'm just guessing here, I have no idea what he's been playing recently.

Since, unlike CB, I don't have a time-machine, I hope I get to live long enough to hear it!

I really wish fumble finger typing worked as a time machine! Boy, the things I would fix in this world. Anyway, let's all keep hoping for Calum to play at least a little flute on the next one, whenever it is.

Re: Calum Stewart flute on Wooden Flute and Fiddle ?
From Calum's last album, I believe the 3 of the 10 were played on his whistle and not the flute. I'll double check.
I would hope Calum hasn't moved on from his flute and that we have future flute work from him. It seems Seamus Egan also transitioned away from his flute to his stringed instruments. I wonder what drives that change. Two fabulously intriguing flute players!
I'm sure the pipe players (and strings, in Egan's case) are saying, "Sure glad Calum is recording more piping tunes!"

IIRC, in Egan's case it was health-related, but I've forgotten why.BKWeid wrote:I wonder what drives that change.

Re: Calum Stewart flute on Wooden Flute and Fiddle ?
True, but I still listen to a lot of his flute music, both with Solas and his solo albums. And although he doesn't play flute on it (just a bit of whistle), IMO 'Early Bright' is absolutely a work of art.BKWeid wrote: It seems Seamus Egan also transitioned away from his flute to his stringed instruments.
