Big Whistle Music and The Met held their first 'Big Whistle Weekend' in May 2007 and it continues to be one of the highlights of the year with a gathering of traditional and contemporary musicians providing a weekend packed with featured gigs, intimate informal gigs, 'Meet' sessions and workshops with some of the phenomenal musicians that are performing over the weekend.

Thanks must go to Big Whistle and David Agnew of the Met for continuing to provide us with these memorable weekends
