Does anyone have this book? If so, what’s your opinion of it?
Where can it be purchased? It would be a good book for those of us who have studio software or mixing machines in that we can practice and play both whistle parts!
I’ve always been fond of tunes with double whistle parts and double guitar parts. Must be from growing up in the 70s!
I have seen it at Hobgoblin Music and Lark in the Morning.
I can’t find it on the UK Hobgoblin store. What section did you see this book in please?

I bought copies of Vol. 1 & 2 of Airs for Pairs from Elderly Instruments (www.elderly.com). The books are interesting but the arrangements are not so whistle-friendly as many go below low d. The parts sometimes cross each other, too, which makes it exciting to try to sight read on a piano. It may perhaps be best to play with a fiddler.
We actually heard Matt Seattle and his daughters play at a song circle in a pub next to the castle in Newcastle upon Tyne, and they were excellent musicians. We were quite impressed and felt lucky to hear them in so intimate a venue.
