    This book is for someone who can already play the silver flute to some extent. I hope to show you some of the techniques to engage with the sounds of traditional wooden flute, as well as teach you a few tunes along the way. There are lots of my own tunes included which are particularly suited to the silver flute and a few traditional tunes to help illustrate the techniques.

about

Recorded live in Estudio Uno, Cinearte, Madrid, July 2005. Mixed by Andre Fry, Brighton Mastered by Gareth Williams at SRT, Cambridge.
Photography by Toby Amies www.tobyamies.com

Three days, all live takes both in the same room - turned out to be a nightmare to mix, but hopefully captured the magic and excitement.
Scores will gradually be available for most of these pieces for flute and piano.

A mix of original and traditional tunes.

"breathtaking" MOjO
"I've heard nobody else who can make the Boehm flute sound like the true traditional thing, who can mould tone to fit the tune so nicely... the sheer musicality is exceptionally impressive..." John Brophy, Irish Music Magazine.
"phenomenal technique" London Folk
"sublime" Rock n Reel

PHILIPPE BARNES & TOM PHELAN - The Madrid Sessions (Hobgoblin Records HOBCD1003)

"This is one of those albums that seamlessly draws together two like-minded musicians who were just born to perform with each other. This is technical yet non sterile playing which is a soulful co-joining of both traditional folk and jazz proving that both musicians are not frightened to expose their Celtic roots. Both Philippe and Tom are equally at ease paired down to just the duo (flute and piano) for this album or working with their full-blown band All Jigged Out. Listen and be prepared to be amazed by some digital dexterity at its best."

PETE FYFE, Folking.com

"...sounding sometimes like the soundtrack to some imaginary black and film about two beatniks exploring rural Ireland..." - Graham Hood
