Description
Gavin Whelan is widely regarded as one of the finest exponents of the tin whistle in Ireland today.
His eponymous debut recording, Gavin Whelan, propelled the tin whistle to centre stage, winning high praise from critics for his crisp, uncluttered phrasing and bright, clean tone.
Born and raised in Dublin, Gavin Whelan still lives in Tallaght on the west side of the city. Gavin's interest in traditional Irish music began when he was a young boy when he regularly travelled, with his parents, to Co. Clare. His dad claims to have taught Gavin his first tune although not a whistle player himself, it was a tune he had learned from the late Micho Russell from Doolin in Co. Clare.
It wasn't until the following year in school when all the students in his class were asked to buy a tin whistle and a tutor book that Gavin took up the whistle seriously. The book was supposed to last two years but Gavin learned all the tunes in just two weeks. This is where Gavin's hunger for Irish Traditional music began.
