fabulous piece. I was just listening to a Zoom Chat and Music session held by the Seamus Ennis Centre in North County Dublin , remembering him on the Anniversary of his Birthday today, and what fantastic Oileann pipers we still have today.
Ennis seemed to possess a rather cerebral bent, from what I've heard he was highly intelligent. I think he, with his strong presence and cerebral disposition, could be a bit much for people. (I mean this in the best way possibly, a remarkable person, as Liam O'Flynn said, he was almost an institution of himself)
@@Goetterdaemmerung86 I’ve certainly always gotten that impression from what I’ve read/heard about him. I look at him in this video and can easily picture him as something like an Oxford professor!
I believe he also played a hornpipe and a reel in the same session. Thomond Bridge, an incredibly difficult hornpipe to play, and the reel MAY be the Merry Blacksmith
“That now is N-flat minor.” Best line I’ve ever heard!
Love Seamus Ennis. What an incredible Piper and a wonderful man.

Please upload more Ennis if you can! Can never get enough
A great archive gem

I was there.
That sounds awesome, very lucky
Me too.
Literally laughed out loud in the middle of night from his opening note.
Interesting to see a few 1970’s Open University TV science lecturers in the audience!
Tough crowd for those anatomy puns 😅 Cool to see Seamus letting his hair down a bit here; he seems quite the congenial gent.

@@thelightisahead Funny you say that, his daughter Catherine Ennis was actually an organ scholar at Oxford!
@@Goetterdaemmerung86 Yes, very true!
Aw Seamus. Great post indeed

The Length of his Fingers tell all He Devoted his life to the pipes.

Great rendition of Danny Boy or the Derry Air
Ned of the Hill. I know it. Eamon an Chonic.
mighty
A few too many flourishes on 'Danny Boy' for my liking!
In classic Enniseerian fashion of course!
