“It’s no good, I need my whistle back.”
Meet Mr Thistle, a rather nervous chap who takes his responsibilities as guard on the Forest Railway very seriously. How will he keep the trains running smoothly when a sudden fright leads him to lose his all-important whistle?
This light-hearted tale touches on the tradition of brass bands in the Forest of Dean, which were and occasionally still are a regular fixture at many community events throughout the area.
Join Mr Thistle on a journey through sound as he swaps his trusty whistle for some other, more interesting instruments…
