fabulous piece. I was just listening to a Zoom Chat and Music session held by the Seamus Ennis Centre in North County Dublin , remembering him on the Anniversary of his Birthday today, and what fantastic Oileann pipers we still have today.
Ennis seemed to possess a rather cerebral bent, from what I've heard he was highly intelligent. I think he, with his strong presence and cerebral disposition, could be a bit much for people. (I mean this in the best way possibly, a remarkable person, as Liam O'Flynn said, he was almost an institution of himself)
@@Goetterdaemmerung86 I’ve certainly always gotten that impression from what I’ve read/heard about him. I look at him in this video and can easily picture him as something like an Oxford professor!
I believe he also played a hornpipe and a reel in the same session. Thomond Bridge, an incredibly difficult hornpipe to play, and the reel MAY be the Merry Blacksmith
