Thread Name: Seamus Ennis Appreciation Society
Subject: Seamus Ennis Appreciation Society
Storyteller, whistle player, singer, fiddler, collector, holy drinker, philosopher - and didn't he play the pipes a bit as well?

I wonder, is the following entirely atypical of the man? An Poc Ar Buile - cracking stuff all the same.

And for those who don't know: Lament of the Fox

Anecdotes, reminiscences, tributes, favourites - all such Enniseana welcome here. An old story once told around Tyneside had a hapless host enquiring as to what our hero would like for breakfast. The reply came: 'A pint of Guinness and a bucket.'
