My name is Robert and I live in Darkest Africa... Cape Town, South Africa in fact. For my midlife crisis, I have taken up Irish music on the tin whistle.
I have been playing since May 2004 and have become completely obsessed. I sometimes call in sick just so I can play my whistle. If I get fired, so be it: at least I'll have the music.
I only have 58 whistles and 3 flutes, but my next shipment should be here in 4 to 6 weeks.
(If you're ever on this side of the world and you feel like playing some tunes, feel free to contact me and I'll introduce you to our session)
