Hi there,
actually I’m rather proud to announce, that not only „Morris Open“ ( www.morris-open.de ) and “Trutz Nachtigall” ( www.trutz-nachtigall.de ) but now “Planxties & Airs” too have a website online: www.planxties-airs.de . Sorry, this one is in German only for now, but if you’re interested in the combination of whistle and church organ playing together, the soundfiles found on “Hörproben” might be interesting anyway. Enjoy listening!
Cheers
Claus

Ok. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Talking Heads, The Band, Morris Open--all the really great bands. And now we have another.
Claus sent me a CD of live recording of Planxties & Airs some time ago and it really is beautiful stuff. I'd fly to Germany to hear 'em live.

P.S. And, boy, would my arms be tired!

Beautiful.
Very elegant and stylish playing with great emotional depth.
The site being in German is no problem and the track names are all in English.
Highly recomended...go there now

- Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.
It sounds like it is being played in one of those old, huge, stone churches that that part of the world is famous for.
Just another example of the versitility of the whistle.

Way to go IDAwHOa.
It does sound as if was recorded in situ, so to speak.
The third track from the site is getting repeated plays here today. For some strange reason the liturgical feel to it reminded me an awful lot of the Gaeltacht Medley from Alan Stivells "Renaissance of the Celtic Harp"which I happened to be listening to this very morning before venturing on to the Chiff Board.
Two very different pieces of music but there is something common to both in the feeling of otherworldness.
Stivells album is on Napster,if you would like a listen.
Slan,

Thanks for the inspiration
What a pleasant blending of musical instruments. Who would have thought the whistle could sound so nicely with organ? You have brought our instument to a new height surely.
