I've heard him sing this Leonard Cohen piece live with a mini orchestra behind him. Amazing. This is too though.

Was I the only one who really loved this film? Just a very well made and intelligent romantic comedy.

I know I'll be hated for this, but I think she's flawless really. Maybe too quiet, but still.... she's incredible.

It was amazing how Paul Pots did well but no, we can not compare with Pavarotti.

That must have been great fun. It's unusual to see Irish music played on an end-blown flute. I wonder what they call that particular flute.

Some different varieties of flute

The shakuhachi

The bansuri

The kena

The Western recorder

The Western transverse flute/concert flute
