Working Artists Studio 2.00pm  Breda Cooney, Whistling up a Storm! Pass the Hat event.

This will be a music performance and a talk on whistling (mouth whistling) which will cover the history of whistling, with musical interludes – tunes and songs – to illustrate the talk. Breda takes us on a fascinating, musical journey with her ‘puss music’, her whistling and her singing as she tells the story of whistling and her own story as well. Not to be missed!

Trad tunes, slow airs and classical music are all part of Breda’s repertoire and she also has a special interest in folk songs and their origins.
