Sorry for the cross-post from the flute forum, but thought you’d all be interested:
Okay, so if you didn’t know, Isaac Alderson (they keep misspelling it in Ireland as Issac) won first place in All-Ireland last month in Listowel on:
sr. flute
sr. pipes
sr. whistle
CCE Ireland is checking to see if any American has ever won three first place titles at a single Fleadh.
Amazing.
I’ve never heard Isaac play (I played with his teacher, Al Purcell for a time) but I imagine the fellow is good.
Great news for USA-born players!
