Robin Mark has done a follow-up recording to Revival in Belfast, entitled "Come Heal This Land" which is also very inspiring. Whistle playing abounds on both of these recordings, and the songs are simply awesome. Also, you might like to give a listen to another recording, "Hungry,&quo...

I have a set of Sindt whistles I would like to sell, in the keys of D, C, Bflat, and A. Anyone interested, please send me an E-mail. These whistles are brand new, and have not been used.

As I have the great fortune of being an employee at Barnes and Noble, I was able to snatch a copy of Glenn's book back in early August, before it was even available through 1st Books. I have several copies, and have truly delighted in the gift that is so richly given by this man. How wonderful that ...

Frank, This is not an unpublished side effect of Thinweasels at all! Prior to purchasing my C and D Weasels, I was not aware of my own sensitivity to these woods. I had previously bought a high G cocobola Thinweasel, and had no problems with it, and still do not. Glenn uses various woods, and he cou...

Frank,
I own both a PVC Silkstone high D and an Alloy D. The alloy model is very sweet and pure in tone, more like a flute. The pitch is good, and the volume quite substantial. It is also tunable, unlike the PVC model. I love mine, am hard-pressed to choose between this and my Thinweasel.

Hey Greg! So glad to hear your report on the weasel. I knew you'd love it. And thought I'd let you know I do now have a Thinweasel high D that is not making my lip swell and blister. It's a beauty, and is made of Bloodwood. I've also now got a Thinweasel high C, made of cocobola, for which I'll need...

It would seem that whistle choice can be strongly effected by regional tendencies, as I think applies even here the U.S. I just returned from Irish Arts Week, and was quite surprised to notice that the majority of whistle players were using Sindts. This could have been due to the fact that John Sind...

I have a CD of Glenn singing some of his original songs, and I laughed and cried through the listening of it. He is a man of great gifts, great passion, and great love for people. His commitment to quality shows itself in all his work, and in his relationships as well. He's a great friend.

I heard an amazing band at a festival in my area this weekend. The band is Brenga Astur, from the Celtic region of Spain, and they play a wonderful blend of traditional Celtic/rock with a touch of Spanish spice. The whistle player, Jorge Mochales, was simply thrilling, playing a B-flat (I think) Sus...

Hello all!
I'll be in East Durham next week also, and look forward to meeting some of you. This is my first event of this nature, and I've never heard Mary Bergin play yet either, so I'm delighted to be able to go. See you all there.
