He is the best flute player of this day and age.

[SpareMeYourNonSense]

This guy did a lecture at my school. It was awesome!!

[rockingmods]

That was Grand.

Peace n love everyone

[fuliginousincandesce]

I noticed that you have added many McGoldrick tricks to your playing.

[brad0021]

Very lovely. Nice job. I'm definitely partial to the lower tuning.

[silaximc4]

very nice melody and nice play.......!!!1 :):)

[Selaretus]

Lovely, but no comparison to the low C Olwell bamboo. Much darker tune in C major.

[windblowscold]

Prove it, Selaretus. Let's hear you play it.

[Selaretus]

Check out "Kilrushband, bath rotary show, greenfields of rossbeigh" I'm playing a low C flute I built. Cheers!

[deterdettol]

Lol! You just compared a nice Irish flute to a nice Owell bamboo flute.

Mind you the Olwell flute is made from bamboo. It's cylindrical. Cylindrical flutes will suffer from not-so-good high 2nd octave intonation.

[toxicwaste193]

not nearly as responsive or stronger i can tell you that!

[bflatflute]

savage stuff! its a d grinter, new model, based on the ruddell and rose, dunno if thats how to spell ruddell tho.

[hippiylife]

what kind of flute is that

[Lochbesda16]

I could be wrong, but I think its a blackwood Patrick Olwell flute, probably Pratten model.

[upkilt]

Grinter flute. Made in AU.

[celticmarine1]

upkilt is correct. It's made out of cocuswood too.

[skara100]

Nobody will remember this! This was the 1st in a set of reels he played whilst in Long Acre (his 1st band in B'ham) ....I still have a cassette....somewhere...great bunch they were too!

[tschaknorris]

You are ze one and only Kevin Crawford. No one can play like you! Great flute sound, by the way.

[captainverdl]

lovely version of Green Fields of Rossbeigh. I fell in love with it when I first heard it and the fine guitar accompaniment on the D flute album. Are you playing a standard D flute by Grinter or is that a C? Always good to hear you play, Kevin.
