Cheers, Andy.

Great fun, Andy!! But those dancing seagulls are going to give me nighmares! :astonished: :laughing:

If you’re interested in Kwela and Southafrican music played on pennywhistle you should check out this video too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQg5LLT3ANs.

It also connects a bit to the thread regarding multivoiced tunes as it is played by two tinwhistle players.
