FluteFling~ traditional flutes and whistles in Scotland
FluteFling classes, workshops and weekends provide opportunities for people to learn and develop traditional skills on the whistle and flute in a Scottish setting.

These videos were made for the European Folk Day 2024 by contributors to The Flutefling Collection.
The Flutefling organisation commissioned and printed the collection during covid lockdown to provide some support to traditional musicians (particularly flute players) during that difficult time. The collection provides a lasting resource for traditional musicians, with contributors providing their favourite flute based tunes, both modern and old in the traditional style.
