The Great
Whistle Walk
This is an
activity which we are launching at The Turning Wave 2008 and it's all
about the humble 6-hole end-blown flute known as the whistle, also
referred to as the tin whistle, the pennywhistle or the Irish whistle.
Playing a piece of music on a whistle can be relatively easy with some
basic skills, playing it well takes a small amount of skill but, when
a number of whistle players try to play the same piece of music
together, well now.... that is a challenge! But that is, indeed, what
we are going to do. Join your fellow whistle players and take part in
the Great
Whistle Walk
from the top to the bottom end of Sheridan Street, Gundagai as part of
the Spirit of Place Parade on Sunday 21st September.
All you need is a "D" whistle
and be able to play two simple tunes in the key of G:
Roddy McCorley (Irish) and The
Road to Gundagai (Australian).
MP3 version of tunes available
soon.
