Hello,
I’ve just finished work on a whistle tutor book & recordings entitled “A Complete Guide to Playing Irish Traditional Music on the Whistle”.
The 286-page book covers all from the first notes on the instrument to advanced ornamentation, and is accompanied by 429 audio files; it’s available as a download.
More info, with samples, here:

Thanks
Steve
You’ll have to add your CD to the listings here. For now, for ears that might be curious ~

I didn’t find a complete track listing to confirm track 12, the reason for the ‘?’…
Thanks for that ceolachan; I’ve just added the CD.
What I called “Anderson’s Reel” in the Youtube extracts is actually The Flowers Of The Red Mill.
I was working from you YouTube listings. I see some of the tracks are other than listed above, and that there are only 12 tracks.
4. ) is 3. ) “Anderson’s Reel” ~ corrected to “The Flowers Of The Red Mill”
12. ) is 4. ) “If There Weren’t Any Women In The World”
13. ) is 12. ) “John Blessing’s Reel”
Is that not ‘Flowers of the Red Hill’?
Micho’s is the Mason’s Apron
@gam:
This is the tune I call The Flowers of Red Hill:

And The Flowers of the Red Mill, that I’ve just realised is also known as “Anderson’s”:

And, just to complicate things further, this is the tune I actually call Anderson’s (the opening tune from the excellent Mulcahy Family album):
