Guinness world record attempt for largest tin whistle ensemble

Hi folks,
Just getting the word out about an event taking place in Ennis, Co Clare on June 21st to coincide with the Gathering.
We’re calling on all you tin whistlers out there to come on board and take part in our Guinness world record attempt for the largest Tin Whistle ensemble.

Hopefully 2000+ tin whistlers will join Lúnasa for an open air performance of the siege of Ennis Polka that will feature as a highlight to a full day of music featuring a host of traditional acts including Lúnasa, The Kilfenora Ceili Band and many more to be announced.

Check out the video infomercial and tutorial below and see ye in Ennis on the 21st !!

Hi Lynn,

Lunasa are playing in Belfast as part of the open house festival on Wednesday 19th but nothing on the 20th.

Myself and Cillian are doing a lunch time concert in the Crane in Galway on Thursday 20th as part of the GALWAY SESSIONS.

Then the big event on Friday in Ennis for the Guinness world record attempt and major music event with Lunasa, The Kilfenora, The Lost Brothers etc etc.

Hello Kevin,

I cannot be in Ennis on June 21st but I am learning the tune 'Siege of Ennis' on the tin whistle. Other whistlers here are learning the tune as well so there will be plenty of spirited support from the USA. Great tune, great idea to go for the GBR, and great players you have gathered.
