"That includes Peter Kennedy, Thats is not a defence of him,it is a statement of fact."
He made a comfortable living from looting the proceeds of what he and his all-too-often forgotten fellow collectors gathered in - (Seamus Ennis, Bob Copper, Sean O'Boyle).
I once made the mistake of asking Seamus Ennis about Peter Kennedy and the project - his reply (in a crowded bar in the middle of the Willie Clancy Summer School) was an angry "That man's a thief".
Kennedy even issued a cassette of Seamus playing fiddle, without his knowledge or permission - I think it appeared in his catalogue as 'Pigeon on the Gate'
