This sale has ended.
Green Linnet is having a sale this weekend only…$7 for CDs and $4 for cassettes, free shipping! I just ordered Joanie Madden’s A Whistle on the Wind. I thought it was only a few things on sale but everything I looked at was on it. I just ran a search on the artist’s name.
Thanks to FoolofaTook for giving me the heads-up on this!

Here are a few of the titles Green Linnet carries:
Lake Effect(Liz Carroll), Lost In The Loop(Liz Carroll), In Concert(Kevin Burke, completely solo, no accompaniment), Steam(John WIlliams), Otherworld(Lunasa), Merry Sisters of Fate(Lunasa), all of Altan’s stuff, Old Blind Dogs’ stuff, Eileen Ivers(self titled), Wild Blue(Eileen Ivers), Out of the Gap(Sharon Shannon), Each Little Thing(Sharon Shannon), Shantalla(Shantalla), Portland(Kevin Burke w/ Michael O’Donnell), Promenade(Kevin Burke w/Michael O’Donnell)…
Those are just a few of the great albums! If you’re still reading this, you shouldn’t be! Go check out the rest of the catalog. Just remembered, Martin Hayes is on that label as well, and the Tannahill Weavers…
I am forever grateful to Green Linnet for anything by Dick Gaughan. Handful of Earth has to be one of the best CD’s ever. No whistle here but- what a voice!

Seems like quite a nice website! I am restraining myself from ordering more!
Thanks for the tip. I just loaded up.

Grrr…I just ordered from them about a month ago when they had their $16 CD’s for $10 and their $8 CD’s for $5. Hmm…A few more CD’s can’t hurt…Sounds like me and whistles

Boy, thanks for the Heads Up! There’s no end to the ways I can spend my money on this Board! Hopefully many of you have already ordered the Wooden Flute Obsession CD ~ OUTSTANDING!!

Help, I don’t know what to buy!!!
I want a whistle album where they play PRETTY! No ITRAD or run-together-with-
too-many-incidentals music; just Irish
tunes slowed-down to sound pretty with
nice lite accompaniment.
So, which ones should I buy, Kim?

Lolly
You’re asking me??? LOL I got the Joanie Madden one because John-N suggested it. Prior to this, “It’s a Small World” was my specialty.

Lolly, for slow traditional tunes, look at their Celtophile compilation cd’s. There’s not a ton of whislte on them, but they are whislte-friendly tunes. Some tracks may be considered a bit ‘New-Agey,’ if that bothers you. (Joannie Madden is on some of them.)Many are fairly traditional renditions. The titles are a bit goofy, but don’t let that distract you.
My Gentle Harp
Ireland’s Most Beautiful Melodies
Season of Mists
There are a few more. If GreenL doesn’t have sound clips, I’ve listened to some on Amazon.com. You can search on Amazon under ‘Celtophile.’

Thanks Kim for the heads up on this one. I have never heard of them before. Not only is this a great deal for my US friends - the shipping is free to Canada as well!! I got Joannie Maddens new CD also!! What a fantastic deal!!
Cheryl
I bought Lake Effect and the Molloy/Peoples/Brady album, woo hoo! Otherworld is out of stock, though. 
Well, I just went through the whole list, am getting Lunasa’s Merry Sisters of Fate, Jerry O’Sullivan’s The Invasion, Patrick Street’s Compendium and could not resist Gaelic Voices. I can’t wait. Thanks, Kim In Tulsa.
Thanks, Kim In Tulsa.
You are welcome, but I can’t take any of the credit. C&Fer FoolofaTook emailed me and let me know. I’m just the gabbier of the two of us and posted it.
I am thrilled that everyone is finding bargains!

What’s a Linnet?
Do they come in other colors besides green?
Doc
Grrrrrrr. More than a few titles on sale that I just bought in the past month or so.
Still, what a great sale…really had to restrain myself. This was a nice way to pick up some Bothy Band, Burke’s If the Cap Fits, another Molloy, and Ms. Ivers. I’d’ve ordered more, but finally broke down and my new fiddle is on the way, so I’ll be enjoying Ramen Noodles for a little while…
Its a beautiful, clear blue sky Sunday morning here in Florida…kayak is loaded atop the Pathfinder, so I’m gonna chase some dolphins now.

Well, Doc, far as I know a linnet’s a small songbird - usually brown… They’re only green when they’re REALLY sick

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I only saw it, like, just now!
Is there any chance of them having it again?
I guess I’m going to be in trouble now, just bought a bunch of CD’s. My wife can’t stand listening to pipes, but I love 'em so I got “Piping Hot”. Maybe I can listen to it in the garage.
