Subject: RE: Seamus Ennis's 100th
Utterly fascinating well produced programme. The stories of him staying with people in England when he was on tour brought back memories of his staying with us in Brighton during the two tours that we organised for him in the early 1970s.
In addition to collecting in Ireland and Scotland, he also did collecting in England whilst he worked with the BBC when he worked for them in the 1950s usually working alongside Bob Copper. He certainly made some recordings of the Copper Family.

The only thing thing the programme lacked was some examples of his wonderful speaking voice.
