What kind of music do you play on your whistle?

Do you play just reels and jigs on your whistle or do you use it for other musical styles too? I think you can choose multiple options? In other case Choose the option you prefere most.

I play mostly IrTrad, but I do occassionally play along with random rock tunes.

I play my own compositions, too, but they're intended to be in the Irish style. (Though I plan on trying to write a few Newfoundland "doubles" at some point, too.)

Yeah, I'm needing an "all-of-the-above" category, too.

I play about equal mixtures of Celtic and American and Canadian fiddle tunes, (which many would still call Celtic, but which we refer to as "oldtime").

But one of my favorite riffs on whistle is the opening line to Canned Heat's "Goin' Up the Country"!

A major catagory left out is spiritual/religeous. We spend a lot of time playing this type of music.

I´ve noticed that one can´t make multiple choices. If you have more than one preferences, please vote several times instead!

I have voted for " Irish / Scottish / Celtic ", but itself sometimes I play melodies from repertoir of rock groups, and also Russian and Belarussin national melodies

I ticked Renniassance and Medieval, but I agree with the above quoted. I really play everything I can.

Mainly Irish trad, also a good bit of rock with the band.

Have also dabbled in playing classical on whistle.

And a few unclassifiable original compositions.

anything I can! But my desire and love is traditional Irish music. But, I'll play a little johnny cash, flogging molly, dropkick murphys, gaelic storm, Chieftains, Pogues, The Real McKenzies, christmas music, yankee doodle songs, any other random children's tune, pretty much anything I possibly can play, and want to play, I play it.
