Brian finnegan whistle tutorial

Hi everybody! (Hi doctor nick!)

Can anyone help me with the following, I’m looking to buy Brian finnegans whistle tutorial CD, but every place is sold out, and I have the idea
that it’s not in print anymore. Does anyone know where to still get it, or if not possible to buy anymore, to provide a digital version?

Thank you all very much!

Or if anyone knows how to contact Brian for it, please do tell me :slight_smile:

There is a copy listed on Amazon.com

I have the Mad for Trad whistle tutorial with Brian Finnegan in the vaults somewhere around here. Also have the ones for the flute, bodhran, uilleann pipe, etc, etc.. Ahh, the good old days when CD tutorials were all the rage.

Mad for Trad went dark years ago, probably because some folks published the videos on YouTube. Those are all out there or have been in the past.

As an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKoMBFOaTXk

No reason to buy the media after that, I would suppose.

It is mostly about presenting tunes - many common to the other M4T tutorials. The CD had the notation for the tunes and very brief write-ups of the articulation methods used on the whistle. Not much more was included. The tutorial was a good display of what Brian does however. Unless you’ve been privy to one of his “house concerts/workshops” you can’t get much more “up close and personal” to his playing style.

'Temporarily out of stock. ’

I found those as well, but everything is out of stock, found it in one place in america for 60 dollars and 20 dollars shipping, which is just ridiculous :wink:

I would think so as well, but by now all those have been deleted due to copyright issues, but are nowhere to buy anymore…
I found that specific clip as wel, and he has quite some stuff on youtube, but if there are actual tutorials of him, I would of course prefer those way more :slight_smile:

Maybe someone else can share a copy with me… I would gladly support the artist, but paying 80 dollars for a 20 year old CD is just a bit over the top for me. And seeing it is no where else to find anymore :frowning:

Did you try the listing by New-River-Blue-Bird on Amazon Marketplace? Amazon’s own listing is temporarily out-of-stock, but a seller going by the name New-River-Blue-Bird still has one listed. Try here:

They may have sold out too, but it’s worth a try if you’re set on getting a copy.
