5.0 out of 5 stars A heartwarming and inspiring piece of Irish music history, 3 Nov 2006
By J. Kerr "-straycat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ireland's Whistling Ambassador (Audio CD)
Micho's style is unmistakably his. Having learned to play by ear under the influence of the concertina certainly shaped his playing in a way that it is completely distinguishable from any other whistle player I've ever heard. He is one of the few musicians who I've heard that can effectively use the space between the notes in a musical way. His stories and the history of the tunes that he offers are all part of the show and just as touching as the music. After hearing this album it is easy to see why this man was loved by his audiences across the world and all who knew him personally. From his whistling to the stomping of his foot in the background to his stories and songs, this album captures the essence of one of Ireland's greatest musicians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleases and surprised, 21 Jan 2008
By Joyce Hammer "pnhgypsy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ireland's Whistling Ambassador (Audio CD)
The CD case was broken. The CD itself was in good condition. The whistling is better than I could of expected.
