Willis Patton – now there's a whistle player I'd love to have heard more of. My first ever trip to Ireland was in 1976 to the Fleadh in Buncrana. I went in to listen to the Senior whistle competition, and I think he may have come 3rd. Serious competition that year – I can remember Carmel Gunning, Fr. Charlie Coen from Chicago who was the winner, and I think the late Donncha O'Brien. Sorry to hear he's in poor health, and hope he can make a recovery.
