Hiya all,
As the YouTube flute treasures are being posted on the flute forum, I would like to draw people’s attention to a marvellous whistle player posting clips there called Ryan Duns. Here’s one of his doings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6MuTDamolg&mode=related&search=
Brilliant stuff I think. Even with all that reverb..
Yeah, he’s a favorite of mine.
I watch the Cormac Breatnach videos on YouTube over and over again. Now those are amazing.

That’s my favorite one
Yes they are.
Stumbled over this video a couple of days ago after visiting the new myspace-page of Brendan Ring http://www.myspace.com/brendanring and looking if there is anything of him on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1T2LZqrbzY
Enjoy

Brendan Ring is fantastic! Pity no one has posted the tune he’s playing (Kushka’s / Maverick Angels) to thesession.org 
Thanks for the heads up Markus… Nice avatar by the way!
Best,
His playing is good, I think I could enjoy it even more if it was raw. The reverb takes away from the character of his playing a bit, I think. It’s a shame the video doesn’t sync well either, I’d like to watch him play. He does have a very smooth, flowing style and sounds very natural and at home on his whistle… has a nice lilt to it.
Did you realize he’s studying to be a priest? That’s pretty cool. His whistle playing is awesome - his more recent recordings are sans reverb (a response to the criticism, it would seem). He’s going to be teaching using YouTube, too.
I was just visiting his blog site earlier this evening - very interesting indeed - on many levels.
I too wish the video was smooth enough that I could actually watch what he’s doing as he plays - I think there is MUCH I could learn from him.
