Thread Name: Seamus Ennis Radio Recordings Request
Subject: RE: Seamus Ennis Radio Recordings Request
I have not digitised it.

There were a few similar programmes recently, on the occasion of the anniversary of his death, that used quite bit of the same material Peter Browne used during the eighties. Eamonn de Butleir did a film on Ennis called Miles and Miles of music, where Ennis spoke shout his life and collecting and broadcasting days. A lot of that material was recycled time and again. Lovely thing to watch in itself.
One of the programmes ran on rte on the Sunday morning archive programme and had some lovely material Ennis recorded on the Hebridies. I believe it was discussed on the forum, Jim Bainbridge mentioning it, I believe. Those should be archived on the rte website. I will have a look later (posting this from my phone, which not al too convenient). Will see what I can do about the S.E. story bug do not expect it too soon.
