"One of the endearing aspects of Irish traditional music is that it truly is accessible to anyone with one of the simplest of instruments, the whistle. Typically the first instrument for youngsters in Ireland - even for those who go on to learn fiddle, pipes, concertina and other instruments - with merely six holes, the whistle lends itself to hundreds of different dance tunes, slow airs, marches, waltzes and more. As a beginner, one can find themselves playing a tune in a single day!" - Dain Forsythe

As one of Albuquerque's finest Irish Traditional Musicians, Dain Forsythe is primarily known for his expertise as a Bodhrán player and teacher but he also performs on Irish flute and whistle. Dain has recently begun offering his teaching skills as an Irish whistle and flute instructor for beginners. He is known for his patience, his sense of humor, and his comprehensive approach. Dain performs regularly at Two Fools Tavern every 1st and 3rd Sundays from 11 - 2 p.m. with Finn's Thumb, an Irish traditional music ensemble, and has taught bodhrán and performed at Zoukfest 2009 and 2010, New Mexico's week-long bouzouki and world music camp.
