Whistler of Rosslea

Posted on March 27, 2012 by gillma

Laurel Swift taught this in two sessions in March 2012 in West Ealing. Thesession.org tells us that Ed Reavy named this tune after a man who sold fish in Rosslea, this man also whistled (with his lips, not a tin-whistle) tunes with perfect rolls, cuts etc.
