The frontman of the Maccabees did a nice little whistling solo at their gig the other if that helps!

Is this the greatest whistler of them all?

I see from his Wikipedia entry that a) he's still alive and living in Australia, and b) he's described as a siffleur, perhaps a sign that the art of whisting has been accorded more respect in France. I recall that in Jean Renoir's French Cancan, Jean Gabin's star act at the Folies Bergère, at the beginning of the film anyway, is a whistler.
