This week, Katie Marie and Joe dive into the sounds of the Irish wooden flute and pennywhistle. Easy to play and yet difficult to master, both the whistle and the wooden flute are equally capable of evocative melancholy and flashy bursts of incredible speed and skill.
The artists this week: Francis O’Connor, Áine O’Connor, & BrIan Mooney; Ruth Keggin; Oirialla; Sarah Markey; Barzaz; Pennoù Skoulm; Kurun; Brid O’Gorman with Eoin O’Neill; Calum Stewart & Lauren MacColl; Lucie Périer; and Casket.
Our FairPlé score this week is 55.
