Peter you bought recordings of celtic music in harrogate and you must have known of bulmers reputation, you should be ashamed of yourself.
jim carroll said" Kennedy misappropriated from another collector and sold without permission of either the collector or the singer.
In this case, the singer, an impoverished Irish Traveller who gave us a treasure trove of ballads (including the rarest in the entire repertoire), died of malnutrition in a derelict house in Roscommon."   
Jim, in your statement there is a clear attempt to associate Kennedy in some way in Reillys death by suggessting he witheld or did not pay royalites and mentioning Reillys death of malnutrition in the next line.
JIM, as usual you have gone way over the top. Kennedy was wrong not to give him royalties, but I cannot see how he is responsible for Reillys death, I would attribute more blame on social workers and social welfare officers and the irish government, it is their responsibilty not Kennedys to make sure that people do not die of mal nutrition
