Big
Whistle Festival
Thursday February 16th to Saturday 18th, 2012 in aid of
Vision Aid
The Met, Bury
Tickets available from the Box Office on 0161-761-2216
Mr Kite's good friend and supporter,
Mr
Weyter, has organised the rather special Big Whistle festival at The Met in Bury
and we thought it would be good to reciprocate that support. So, here we go ...
based
around the humble tin whistle, there's everything from a ceilidh through classes
to concerts to choose, or, just go for the whole lot. The main concerts are with
Kan,
Breabach and watch out for
the mighty
Treacherous Orchestra. It's quite simple really ... a unique celebration of
traditional, contemporary, acoustic and roots music with the whistle at its
core. Check out the details of this great little festival
here.
