- Tell us something.: I play the whistle, I used to play flute but have Dupuytren's contracture so can only play whistle now which is fine. Mostly play sessions around Canterbury Kent area.

Very nice but where's the bouzouki? I could only hear bodhran. Or is this just an isolated track without Alec Finn?
Re: Frankie Gavin - whistle reels 1975
No, there's no zouk. It's a track from their first album, from 74 or 75. Dolores Keane sings on it. Not available on CD afaik.

Quite right m.d. A stupid mistake on my part. I've corrected the text, and will try to edit the "thumbnail" as soon as I can.

Re: Frankie Gavin - whistle reels 1975
I love this, Kenny! Whilst I wouldn't compare myself either with Frankie as a whistle player or with Ringo as a bodhran player, I've always particularly liked this set and tried my best to copy the feel of it on a set I recorded back in 2008.
