I removed the old version of this film and tried to improve the sound. This new version has been EQ'd and I made it louder also. I know it doesn't sound like it but it is actually an improvement. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for uploading this and for doing a great job on improving it.
Seamus Ennis’s legacy is phenomenal. It’s hard to imagine anyone else could have done such a fantastic job of collecting so much music & song that could well have been lost otherwise🇮🇪👍

thank you so much for posting this video, at about 2:18 into the recording i heard his car horns and thought to myself "i'll bet there in perfect tune"

What a fantastic, and very moving, documentary. Seamus Ennis is an Irish national, and international, treasure. All his recorded work, both sound, visual and written, should be collected and archived for subsequent generations to experience and know of - 'The Seamus Ennis Archive'! Now there's a PhD project for an Irish speaking post-graduate to get funding for...
The sound is still quite muddy and tends to 'boom' on my, not very good, computer system cheap 'Creative' 25w speakers. Perhaps a slightly inordinate amount of treble, a middle, or +1, amount of 'middle', and not very much, -3-4, (scale of 5) bass might counter this phenomena?
