He was like a wandering bard people used 'take him in ' . Barney McKenna's mother Kathleen let him stay with them in Donnycarney for a year or two. I think that was in the sixties.
Indeed, that's what I always thought too, the last true bard... One of his piping albums is named "The Wandering Minstrel", it's one of the tunes he played, I believe Ennis picked that name for said reason.
Seamus Ennis, the man with the longest fingers in all of Ireland.
Saw him in Dublin in 1979. Changed everything for me.
Thank you for making this video available. As a mediocre piper I understand are all masterpieces.
God, if can be like that one day! I have no other use for my long fingers, hah.
