I was fortunate enough to be in his company on a few occasions when he played in the Boolavogue Inn in Enniscorthy in the late sixties and early seventies. The Boolavogue Inn has long since disappeared, but I'm glad to say the Pecker is still with us. Limerick University published a book and CD of his life and songs last year, as told to them by the Pecker himself. Very go read and listen. I you contact the University I'm sure they will still have some copies available.
