[scots-l] Tin Whistle Bands

[Manuel Waldesco]

Hello there, I'm doing from time to time some research on pennywhistle history, and I came once to one reference to a Tin Whistle Band in Glasgow, in the book "Voices from the War" Grace Kennedy says: “(...)But I remember the Boilermakers’ Tin Whistle Band going round Govan during the boilermakers’ lock-out or strike in 1910.” (Voices from War, p. 40)   Does anyone knows any more about these bands, history, characteristics, etc?   Thanks in advance   Manuel Waldesco
