Airs For The Low Whistle
CD 2014

Low Whistle Player, F�odhna Gardiner-Hyland is from Ballyporeen, Co. Tipperary.

Influenced by her father, accordionist Bobby Gardiner, F�odhna was drawn to the tin whistle and later, low whistle, having listened to players such as Joannie Madden and Davy Spillane. She has featured on film, television and radio programmes in Ireland and abroad e.g. a sound track for the film �The Lord's Burning Rain� with Destiny Films and Publishing; Dubai Eye Radio and Celtic Music WYSO FM, Ohio; TG4 News, RT� Radio 1 and Raidi� na Gaeltachta. She has co-featured on two family CDs entitled �The High Level� and �Tipperary's Hills for Me�.
