Hi! Anyone here who knows what tin whistle John Sheahan play nowadays? It's clearly visible in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GedyW5Ob780 Looks like either a Chieftain or a Colin Goldie to me.. Would be grateful if anyone knew for sure! Sláinte Mattias

Nice to see him. He was the quiet Beatle. (So to speak...)

Okay thank you! So the whistle made by Colin Goldie would be the closest I could get to John's Overton whistle? Like this one: http://fredmansmusik.se/webbshop?pid=510# Are there any differences between the whistles Bernard Overton made and the ones Colin Goldie makes now? He is a licensed manufacturer of the Overton whistles, isn't he?
