- Tell us something.: I love Irish music and I love to play the whistle! I met Dale and now he is the main man of whistlers. I can't wait to get back on the road again as this coronavirus is the worst!

From Joanie Madden
Hi everyone,
I stopped by the live chat tonight on Chiff and Fipple and really enjoyed chatting to a bunch of whistlers and they gave me an idea.
I'm not sure what direction to go in my next recording. I was tossing the ideas of a whistle and orchestra record or a pure trad record.
Since this is the ultimate tin whistle website (with Dale as King) I thought I should ask you guys your opinion as to what you want me to do for my next album. I'm kind of up in the air and I know I'm way overdue another solo recording but, I was just wondering what the feedback would be from the 3000 or so of you as to what road I should take. I have a meeting with my producer on Tuesday to get the ball rolling.
Another Song of the Irish whistle - or a rip roaring trad album - the live chat whistlers were leaning towards a 1/2 and 1/2. If you feel like sharing your opinion, let me know what the verdict is!!
Thanks a million and keep whistling!!

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

I'd love to see (hear) a rip-roaring trad recording. No vocals. Really get down with it.
Having said that, I am also hoping that one day you'll do something with orchestration. I play in a couple of non-Irish groups and would love to get one of them to do a piece where I could play a whistle. I'd love to hear some of the possibilities.
So, in essence, I have not helped at all. But I'm really jazzed that you asked.
Go trad next.

I'd rather see a bit more in the direction of "A Whistle on the Wind" in terms of relatively simple instrumentation. Still plenty of opportunity to vary the mood, and no barrier to innovation either. Save the orchestral work for a movie soundtrack.

more possibilities on whistle
I was not in the chat (damn ) but your message made me think.
There is so much IRTRAD already and of course we all love that (please don't take me wrong, I am a joanie fan!), but what about some more of OTHER things......I was thinking of not a specific direction but a blend of various kinds/ moods would make a nice change.....
That would let us discover more possibilities on whistle many of us maybe haven't tried yet........so this should be a fun cd hm?
warmest greetings

Rip-roaring trad, please! (But not necessarily all rip-roaring tempo -- include some beautiful slow airs along with the reels & jigs.)
Can you change this thread to a poll? If all 3000 of us vote, it might be easier to count that way.
Thanks for asking us! Now can I brag that Joanie Madden asked my opinion on something???

Feeling ambitious? How about a 2 CD set: The Two Sides of Joanie Madden, or some such.. One disc pure trad, minimally "produced"-- just sit the gang down and play some old favorites and some lesser known session tunes. The other CD could be an avenue to explore other directions: orchestra, unusual percussion, guest musicians, etc. Best of both worlds, IMHO.
I'm looking forward to seeing you on the 17th at the Comhaltas thingie!

I like the "2 Sides" idea too. Make it a 2-sided CD!
