062: The Penny Whistle & You with Sean Cunningham

If you've ever been impressed by production quality in a penny whistle tutorial on YouTube, you were probably watching Sean.  A self-proclaimed, "recovering highland bagpiper," Sean joins me to talk about whistles & why, (I'm sure,) all pipers and drummers should pick up a whistle.   Tune into this episode to hear Sean extol that ever-popular musical genre: Elf Metal.   If you're looking to get a lovely whistle, here's the discount code for whistles from the good people over at LÍR : HERITAGEBAGPIPES Here are links to Sean's work & other things that came up during the interview: Sean's YouTube chanel: https://www.youtube.com/c/whistletutor Sean's website: https://whistletutor.com/ Sean's band: https://thesternwheelers.com/ The live session album Sean mentioned: https://patrickourceau.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-monas   - We're on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DroningOnPodcast And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/droning.on.podcast/ - You can write-in to the show with comments, ideas, requests, etc. at [email protected] - Support the show via Patreon (patreon.com/DroningOnPodcast), or by buying cool stuff at BagpipeSWAG.com  -   -   -  And now, some keywords:  Bagpipes, bagpipe, bag, pipe, pipes, pipe, band, pipeband, Scottish, small, drone, droning, chanter, highland, lowland, uilleann, smallpipes, trad music, whistle, flute, pennywhistle, tinwhistle, irish, irishwhistle
