Whilst not technically a St Patrick’s Day Special, this week’s episode was recorded in Dublin, at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, on St Paddy’s Weekend, with Irish flute royalty.
Professor William Dowdall, former principal flute of the National Symphony Orhcestra of Ireland, joins me to chat about vibrato, flutter tongue, The Cleveland Orchestra, blending, orchestral excerpts and Guinness.
Sláinte lads, Éirinn go Brách x
