Noreen O'Sullivan - new whistle CD

Thank you MTGuru and Peter for the clarifications. I just thought perhaps in the excitement of playing that some musicians may have pepped it up a bit, ya know when the foot gets tapping, but, I do realize that adjustments are easily made by the engineers in the process to correct anything.

Thank you. :thumbsup:

Hi Noreen,

Apparently whistling runs in the family… and yes there was some fiddling too.


Frankie Gavin plays a wonderful house concert and the craic was mighty! You and your family are always welcome here Noreen!

Like Ytliek, I was at the house concert by Frankie Gavin last night and all I can say is WOW WOW WOW! Frankie wss beyond amazing on fiddle and awed us with a grand three reel set on the whistle. Gracious and humble to speak with, Frankie was entertaining both whilst playing and with his stories and one joke after another betwixt his magical fiddle playing on tunes. We were also fortunate to see Frankie collaborate with Tommy McCarthy (owner of “THE BURREN”) a venerable pub and Irish TRAD music venue in Somerville, MA where many of the best players in the genre have performed. Frankie and Tommy played an incredibly tight set on their fiddles to the delight of all in attendance.

THANK YOU to Frankie Gavin, Tommy McCarthy, and all who made the concert possible. And Noreen, there are many of us here in the USA that would love to see more of the wonderful musical talent within ye family. That said, please consider a tour here and we would all welcome ye with open arms. :thumbsup:

Slainte,
Cayden
