Old saying 'Success has a thousand fathers, failure is an orphan child'! I studied at UCC 1970-74, when Ó'Riada's legacy had inspired new generations of Irish Music, like Mícheál Ó'Súilleabháin & Tomás Ó'Catháin. Please remember, Seán was only 40 years old when he passed away, all too early, in 1971. Having studied classical music in Europe (pre-EEC/EU!) he returned to Ireland determined to reignite the Irish Trad music, for which we should be eternally grateful. Ní bheidh a leithéad ann arís!
Clearly, this production has not garnered any interest or commentary on RUclips. Says a lot about its impact. Having commenced studies at UCC in 1970, I experienced the influence of S O'R. For instance, he chose the Harpsichord for some renditions of Trad Irish Music because he believed its sound resembled that of the ancient wire-strung Irish Harp.
Hi Noel, I agree; I was disappointed that it did not flush out some comments. I found a great reluctance by many to participate in the programme on the record, preferring to keep their opinions to themselves, which in itself speaks volumes, perhaps for another day.
@@pipertom Fair play to you Tommy for making these programmes! I'm enjoying them. Times pass and things get lost. As a 1960's song put it 'Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone'!
