Subject: RE: Your Favorite Tin Whistler From: MartinRyan Date: 27 Jun 05 - 06:12 PM Nice to see Tom McHale get a mention. When I first went to live in Athlone in 1972, I rapidly developed withdrawal symptoms as a result of the regular diet of jazz on which I had been living. Tom ran an excellent folk club in the town at the time and I eventually found a more than adequate substitute for Monk etc. in the regular procession of excellent musicians who passed through the club in those days. Tom was killed in a car crash a few years later - but the club survived, so to speak. Regards |
Subject: RE: Your Favorite Tin Whistler From: GUEST,Billy Boyd Date: 28 Apr 19 - 05:04 PM Willis Patton was the equal of any tin whistle player....an incredible wee guy...he and Mary Bergin were featured on radio once playing together with Mary in Dublin and Willis in a studio in Belfast. |
Subject: RE: Your Favorite Tin Whistler From: Steve Shaw Date: 29 Apr 19 - 07:48 AM Mary Bergin for me every time. Vin was indeed brilliant (I heard him loads of times), though his technique wasn't, er, "traditional," according to some expert or other whose name I forget who explained it to me about 25 years ago. Did I care? Not a jot! |
Subject: RE: Your Favorite Tin Whistler From: gillymor Date: 29 Apr 19 - 09:36 AM Hank Araki is awfully good on the Low D whistle. |

Subject: RE: Your Favorite Tin Whistler From: GUEST,jim bainbridige Date: 24 May 19 - 12:21 PM best I ever heard was Billy Conroy, pitman from Ashington in Northumberland. He made his own whistles- out of any old tube, eg he played one made from the handle of a Bex Bissel carpet shampooer- I still have one of his made from insulation pipe.... |
Subject: RE: Your Favorite Tin Whistler From: GUEST,Dtm Date: 25 May 19 - 04:27 AM Cathal for me. Love to hear him effortlessly change key several times on the one whistle. |

Subject: RE: Your Favorite Tin Whistler From: banjoman Date: 26 May 19 - 06:07 AM My wife - Maggie- is one of the finest whistle and reorder players you could wish to hear. Could hold her own with most of those mentioned. Also a fine banjo and guitar player. Pete |
