Charity Session Speed Tin Whistle
On 28 April 2006, Phil performed a "Sponsered Speed Tin Whistle Playing" event at the school he works at, to raise money for Moorfields Eye Hospital. It involved playing the tune Man Of The House at increasing tempo over and over, with the children clapping and dancing to the rhythm. To add to the challenge, each speed increase was accompanied by a change to a lower pitched whistle, which requires more breath and more nimble finger work. In total £35 was raised.
