Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The best whistling I've ever heard !.......2005-09-05

This is a fantastic set of Whistle tunes played superbly. The best penny whistling I've heard.

5 out of 5 stars A Classic!.......2000-05-13

Brian Hughes is a virtuoso of the Irish whistle: "Whistle Stop" displays that virtuosity in a major showcase of technical skill and Irish Whistle style. There are some great, well-known session tunes included in the 14 tracks, and some astounding back-up playing, particularly Jimmy Cahill on Tracks 1 and 10. The one reservation I have about the album is echoed in an observation made by whistle master Jack Coen, who said of current whistle styles, "Too many notes and not enough music". And perhaps that's true, until one reaches the beautiful and haunting "Waltz of the Little Girls". Then Brian Hughes proves himself a true musician, not just a virtuoso.
