I love these traditional instruments. Who needs electronics?

Playing acoustic is certainly my favourite! Calum

You know, Calum, I never tire of this tune. I don't really of any your music. I hope to see you in Denmark again at some point. I just found out you have a newsletter and will from now on be watching more carefully for your concert dates. 4 years since the last time is too long!

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Hi Alberte! Thanks for your message, and we hope to be back in Denmark soon! Keep in touch online and hope to see you there next time. Best wishes, Calum

Oh, great to hear it! I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it. :) Hope you’re well!

My new favourite tune to play on the harp. Calum your a magician with the low whistle.. amazing work guys

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Thanks for your kind words Laura! The wooden low whistle made by Mike Grinter certainly seemed to work well for this tune! Best wishes, Calum

I just learnt this on the harp from Rachel Hair. What a delight to hear the original. Thank you.

Hello Refael and Shoshana, I absolutely love to hear it on the harp! Best wishes, Calum

[@tonybaker7484]

What a beautiful tune - heard it for the first time tonight.

[@hludovicus4478]

This tune is great ! But it's so beautiful in itself, that I don't know what to put behind in order to have a set...

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Hmm thats a question I can't answer sorry! We play it on it's own, with the variations :) Cheers Martin! Calum

[@hludovicus4478]

@@CalumStewartMusic I have since made some research, and I find that this tune, followed by "l'air mignonne", is juste a pure ear delight ! Thanks again for that beautiful song !

[@joelsans-musicnature]

Thanks for this live recording! It sounds natural and real The live recordings are not very usual or are live film but musical playbacks. Nice to see that.

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Thank you Joel! Yes we are happy that people enjoy the real live acoustic videos! We'll do some more soon! Cheers :)

[@markrussell616]

Hi Calum, beautifully put together tune, thank you. What kind of low whisyle is that you are playing in the video?

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Many thanks Mark! I'm playing a wooden low D whistle made by the late Michael Grinter. All best wishes! Calum

[@Kowasi]

Just great~ the wind noise like the bird song just adds to the recording in my books. I would have loved someone to open the gate just a crack and peep out! 'Looking at a rainbow through a muddy window' seems to be a grade above the famous curate's egg. The beauty of the tune, furthermore, rather suggests that the window in question doesn't actually have very much mud on it at all and that the rainbow is quite bright.

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Many thanks @Kowasi for your wonderful impressions... behind the gate is an Aladin's cave of old agricultural equipment and mysteries ;) Best wishes! Calum

Looking at a rainbow through a dirty window

[@amirulpipe]

@Calum Stewart, this is live recording? Amazing man..normally, live recording with other instruments would surely kill the low whistle as it has quite a low volume at the lower register. Great job Cal non the less..

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Hi! Yes it's 100% live ! There is a stereo pair of microphones at the front of the group (closest to whistle) which picks up the whole group sound. Because the whistle is closest, you can hear the whole group balanced. The mics also pick up a fair bit of wind towards the end of the video... it was a bit windy! The whistle I'm playing is made by Michael Grinter which has quite a strong natural sound... so great for playing in groups.

[@bobmag5058]

It would be so nice to have more live recordings. Truly enchanting! All the best to You Calum!

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Thank you Bob! There will be some more coming soon! Best wishes, Calum

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Thank you Bob! There are more coming soon! Stay in touch :) Calum

[@amirulpipe]

Awesome Cal, truth to be told, I have just learnt from you that Michael Grinter makes low whistles. I've heard great reviews on his Flute for which I almost bought until i decided to take up the Uilleannpipes, (cant say I regret it yea xD). Thanks for the info and vid bud. Appreciate it!

[@joshuadonahue5871]

Hi Calum, what brand of low whistle are you playing there?

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Hi Joshua, on this recording I'm playing a wooden low D whistle by Michael Grinter.

[@jeandanieljolivald6256]

to get to Arthur rainbow we have to wipe the window: "A noir, E blanc, I rouge, U vert, O bleu : voyelles" but where is the yellow? dans le sous-marin d'un marin saoul John's father, I guess.
