Phil Hardy

Started playing whistles in 1980 after a friends kid left a Feadog around my flat. Started making whistles when bought a duff Overton and wanted to get another from the maker.negociated with Overton to make Overtons.Started making Overtons in 1993 and carried on until 1998. 1997 designed Chieftain range of whistle and had my licence with Overtons revoked,best thing that could have happened. Chieftains got world premier with Riverdance,Braveheart & Titanic,great publicity. I play many instruments so started making first whistle CD in 2000,Low Whistle.This is the CD you can hear on this blog.Tony Hinnigan played some stuff on the CD and continued to play stuff on the following 3 CDs which were Whistleworks,Highs & Lows ,Whistle Graffiti.Tony Hinnigan,Aiden Burke and myself made a CD before Low Whistle called EarlyTrax,all these CD are available from www.kerrywhistles.com Started www.kerrywhistles.com in 2001 and it has now become one of the most popular whistle sites on the planet with a vast range of video clips,reviews and profiles. 2003 saw the devlopement of the Kerry Songbird range of whistles which are just now making a mark in the market place. Since I started making whistles,the whistle market has grown,with many different makers,some really great and some totally crap. Currently building KerryStudio's here in London Uk to record more music with many more artists and to delelope the KWL lable as an indie-pendent. There are too many record companies ripping artists off,so KWL will go into partnership with artists who want to record without fronting piles of cash. MUSIC IS GETTING CHEAPER. So for the future,more music,videos,beers and laughs. Phil. ps,if anyone wants a copy of the cd you can get one at www.kerrywhistles.com you can also s get copies of the other cds as well Highs & Lows Whistleworks Whistle Graffiti EarlyTrax
