A co-worker & I have decided to play a few Christmas tunes at the annual office party. I on the whistle & he on the violin.
I am sheet music challanged so the tunes will have to be with tabliture fron D-Trad, he can play by ear.

What tunes should we play? What to avoid?
I have C, D, Low D & Low F Whistles.

What do you think?

Nick, I suggest you play anything you both already know before you tackle learning new material. Have you made a list of what Christmas tunes you already have together? How much time do you plan to fill?

So, Nick, do you want to do carols that everyone would know, fast tunes, slow tunes??? Your choice depends on what Christmas music you already know and enjoy yourself.

More info, please.

Thanks Alice, I have to admit I was looking more for disaster stories... dont ever play this whith whistle & violin, you will ruin Christmas!

Of the tunes you mentioned two are on the list.
WTK & WCIT?
Then Jingle Bells for The Secular Crowd

Thinking of wrapping it up w/Auld Ang Sine.

Thanks again, the newly reaffirmed Nick

OK... don't play "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". Then again, it might be the hit of the party.
