It was Seamus Ennis and young Thomas Keenan who were my main influences for my style of Irish whistle playing when I was young, in my teens and twenties. I didn't have a huge repertoire because I couldn't read music, but as Paddy O'Brien of Offaly once told me, I had "the good ones". For a few years, though, I had a rather fierce style developing. The way I understood whistle playing from the piping inspired whistle players like Seamus and Thomas was that they didn't tongue the notes, everything was defined by the fingers and the breath, so you had to play fairly fast and very sure of yourself. Lots of grace notes, rolls, double rolls and cranns, just like the pipes. That's the way Seamus is playing here.
Sounds like Tom bombadil himself!
Got young kids? Play them this .
I have a vague suspicion that Séamus Ennis heard or read the English tale of Master of All Masters collected by Joseph Jacobs and published by David Nutt in 1898, which he adapted for his own use. There's another Scots version of this story called the Clever Apprentice that was collected from a Mr Copeland, a schoolmaster from Tyrie in Aberdeenshire and published by W. Gregor in 1889 in the Folk-Lore Journal.
What an amazing story teller!

I was 12 years old when we got our first B&W TV about Summer 1965. Séamus Ennis had an early evening program (Down The Garden Path) on Teilifís Éireann where he would relate folk stories and play tunes on his Uilleann Pipes. Great Stuff! Ar dheis Dé 😇go raibh a h-anam dílis/RIP!👼Ní bheidh a leithéad ann arís!
