Thank you! Just found this video and what a treasure it is! Sean was my Mother’s first cousin on his father’s side. We were lucky enough to meet him and visit several times when the family came to visit from the U.S. RIP Sean 🙏🏻❤
Had a wee whisky with Sean about two weeks before he died in the rusty mackerel. Rest in peace
An-cheol!
Sean made a great contribution to music and song in Donegal, a special talent and a one-off. Well done on the interview
Delightful, thanks 🙏
