Big(ish) YouTube whistle CD playlists

Re: Big YouTube flute and whistle album playlists

Brilliant list, but
Must-have CD’s you have missed -
Barry Kerr - everything.
Gary Shannon - Loozin’ Air (bonus marks for a truly awful pun, a hilarious bit of lilting, and great guests. Brilliant playing by a man who doesn’t take himself too seriously, but takes the tradition with respect.
Tom McElvogue - The Long Hard Road & Luckpenny - for my money’s worth the best flute player around.
and since you were adding Breton flute players
Erwan Menguy - Spring Days

Re: Big YouTube flute and whistle album playlists

This is a list specifically of full albums (not individual videos) of notable fluters. @THC - agree, but if they’re not on YouTube 🙁

Barry Kerr’s album Castor Bay with his sister Laura is one of my all time favourites.

Erwan Menguy - Spring Days - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_la92lKo33uJYFw8zHrXdmzK62lXLNVc6M

I’ve quite a few of Erwan’s videos bookmarked in other lists. And another amazing Breton fluter Malo Carvou (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uunbL0jMe5Q -- if you like search, there’s more!).

Others that would be on the playlist collection if I could locate on YouTube (I have them on physical CD or Apple Music) Cein Sweeney; Michael Tubridy; Jackie Duignan; James Carey; Michael Clarkson; Kirsten Allstaff; Dave Sheridan; Martin Meehan; Kevin Henry, Emer Mayock…. so many awesome players.

If anybody can locate other fluting albums would love to add them to the list.

Re: Big YouTube flute and whistle album playlists

Re: Big YouTube flute and whistle album playlists

@gbryne, yea i came across Malo Carvou as well - think thee & me have a pretty similar taste in music!! Your list strongly overlaps the flute collection on my mp3 player.

Re: Big YouTube flute and whistle album playlists

You wouldn’t happen to have/know of a youtube playlist with all of these albums on it, would you? Or where I might find this list of albums on youtube? Thanks.

Re: Big YouTube flute and whistle album playlists
