Robert Harvey <h4> Feadáil - The Whistling Tradition in Ireland c. 1800-2021 Ennistymon Benny's newMy father, Dan, from north Kerry farming stock was a fine exponent of the craft of whistling which he honed working on the fine meadows they walked on near Listowel. I remember him performing at house gatherings and was entranced by the sweetness and clarity of his whistling enunciation.
