ENNIS, Seamus - Co Dublin\ Collector/ Singer/ U-piper & storyteller\ 1947 - (1919-1982) - born in Jamestown, Dublin, his father worked for the Irish government and played fiddle, flute and the (mouth-blown) Highland or War Pipes. Seamus's mother, who came from Co. Monaghan, also played fiddle and encouraged him in his folk music interests. After leaving a commercial college in Dublin in 1938, Seamus worked for 4 years with Colm O Lochlainn at "The Three Candles Press", and it was here that he developed an interest in folk song. In 1942 he joined The Irish Folklore Commission as a folk music collector and during the next 5 years he was to travel all over Ireland and Western Scotland writing down and memorising hundreds of tunes and stories. He also translated Gaelic songs for the Hebridean collection of John Lorne Campbell. In 1947 Seamus was offered a job at Radio Eireann, and it was during this period that he acted as a guide to the American folk collecrtor, Alan Lomax. As a result of this, in 1951, he found himself working for the RPL, alongside Peter Kennedy, collecting folk music and dialect in Britain and Ireland for RPL Recorded Programmes Permanent Library. Out of this came the regular weekly Sunday morning radio programmes, AS I ROVED OUT, in which Seamus and Peter presented the people they had met on their travels and played their recordings -- "As I roved out": FTX-013 - "Deserted Husband": FTX-019 - "Herring Song": FTX-027 - (15 songs in English, 1 Gaelic, 2 dandling songs, 5 on U-pipes & 1 on whistle/ fiddle: FTX-079 - Songs in Engl & Gaelic: FTX-169 -AS I ROVED OUT radio progr with COPPERS at Peacehaven: FTX-253 - Radio Third Prog "The Gaelic West" (Ireland & Scotland) prod by Alan Lomax & pres by SE 7"RTR-0290 (some radio interference)/ CASS-1291: FTX-275 - Stories pipe tunes rec by PK, London 1958: RTR-0581-4: FTX-302 - RPL LP 23931 U-pipes rec 7/2/58 incl slow airs & demonstration of drones, tuning, staccato playing/ FTX-374 - opening of National Waterways Museum, Gloucester 1988: FTX-418 "The Mary Anne McHugh" (Percy French) - "Historic Recording Series": FTX-419/ FTX-420 - "Fine Girl": FTX-FTX-512 - "Rocks of Bawn": FTX-518 - "As I roved out"(unacc): FTX-789 #02 - "Dublin Reel" (on U-pipes) in Radio Prog 1957 "Sing Christmas" FTX-950/ ROUNDER-CD-1850 2000 - rec by Brian George, Jamestown, Finglas 30/8/47: RPL 12488-9 "Rocks of Bawn" "As I roved out" & "Soldier Soldier" - RPL 13767-76 (17 songs) & 13777-9 U-pipes incl tuning up & improvisation rec 1949 - rec by Alan Lomax Dublin 1951 COLUMBIA SL-204 1952/ ROUNDER CD-1742 1998 "Banks of the Roses" "Rocks of Bawn" "Whisky in the Jar" "Woman of the house" "Molly Bawn" "Were you at the rock?"
