I was asked to judge the 'whistling' competition at the TMSA festival in Kinross, about 1974?? I was a little surprised to find this was not for tin-whistling, but for the kind discussed here.
The rules were the same as for instruments, ie a jig a reel, strathspey etc.
All went well until, a local man, who had misread the nature of the competition in a different way, proceeded to do the most amazing series of bird impressions.
His supporters (they were several and large and full of drink) roared their approval so I was in a quandary, to say the least!
Now I'm not keen on competitions in the first place & will probably face trouble from the TMSA, but there was only one decent entry and several lesser attempts.
So 'yer man' got the second place & all were happy enough...
