Someone put up a bunch of excellent Vinnie Kilduff videos about 3 months ago:

Not sure if this has been posted before. My apologies if it has, just couldn't find the time to run through 11 pages of threads to find out! Here's a clip of Pat Tierney playing three reels, ending with John in the Fog. Believe he's playing a Susato. Great stuff.

I just made a video for a friend and stuck it on youtube so she could see it.
Its nothing brilliant but it might be of interest to someone, it was to show her how to do a longer glissando.

I am really enjoying reading through all the old threads on here.
I am actually amazed that so many people play the whistle.
I have been playing on and off for over 30 years and it used to be the sort of thing you didn't mention in polite company.

What makes you think that has changed?

I was worried that might be the case.

When I started playing again my wife bought me a woolly jumper.
It might be coincidence, but she also says I should grow a beard.

Allright, I lost a bet last year, while drunk, after telling a friend of mine how I would never post anything on Youtube (unless for "business reason" like selling an instrument). So I was due payment, here's the clips, two reels recorded on my Eb whistle

Nice, Az! Tune names?

Azalin · Post by **Azalin** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 8:58 pm

Thanks! Well, I'm lazy, and you guys are forcing me to do some research grrrrr

I just checked Tunedb and it seems the first tune is a reel called "Johnny Cronin's Fancy". The second tune is one of my favorite, it's called Corner House and is based on the march called "The Battle of Aughrim". I learned it a while ago from whistle/flute player Mike McHale who won all Ireland around '67 I think but now lives in upstate New York. He had a brother, Tom McHale I think, who also won all Ireland on whistle but died in a car accident years ago. Mike is one of my whistle hero, he's good friend with Mary Bergin and they play very well together.

Hey, nice playing, Az, I enjoyed that! You survived your video debut.

You're also braver than me ...

Funny, I never made the connection between Corner House and Battle of Aughrim. Very cool, thanks for that.

I'm not sure if anyone's posted china496694218's link yet (this is a really long thread! i've made it to pg 4 so far! lol)
anyway, his whistle and flute work are both rather good. i like this one a lot:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVbpfc2LccU

his low whistling is lovely as well:

and his flute version of the Braveheart theme impresses the socks off of me!

(it's also fun to see that he seems to have a full-blown case of WhOA

)
