Hmm, haven't heard or seen anything about Vinnie for some time now. He's a great whistler. What does he do nowadays?

I almost bought a Kilduff training video - Is it worth it to purchase one? I like the CD's but would really like a video-based training session to "see" the whistle played in addition to listening to the tune

This is the store I've bought my first two whistles from, and I'll just order from him again if this is a decent training video -

Vinnie Kilduff occasionally appears on the bill at a show or on a track or two on someone else's CD, more often as producer where he has some fairly recent credits. I've not seen a solo CD from him since maybe the 80s.

The biggest downside of this tutorial is that it's fairly short, there aren't a lot of tunes and the ornamentations and stuff are worked over very quickly. I think it's good for seeing what is done up close and whatch some masterful whistleing, but you won't get into lots of details here. Having said that I do think that it's worth purchasing.

i just got the brian video , its pretty cool this guy has a smooth finger for whistling, gives you just what you need to get started, begining or advanced, your are still going to have to add spice ( ornamentation) but that what makes it fun, no one really plays the same tune the same- i got it out the door for $44.00 including shipping no one can beat that price, she is having an 10th annoversary sale or something--melodies music

I just got the Finnigan CD-Rom and it is excellent - Granted, nothing take the place of an actual "in person" instructor, but I've had a heck of a time finding one, so this is a great substitute - Very easy to follow and the "video" segments in which Brian plays really put it all together for me - I'm the type of person, for better or worse - lol, who needs to "see" something to have it really stick with me -

I would, as a greenhorn newbie (who is slowly sinking into a full blown attack of WHOA) recommend it for anyone who is looking to add to their instructional aides, not to replace slow sessions or instructors, but as another tool to help you get started -
