Willie Clancy & Seán Reid 1956.

Post by Steampacket »

Willie Clancy and Seán Reid in this clip from the Ennis Fleadh, 1956. Starts at 00:13 seconds till 0:30 seconds. I'm guessing that Seán is playing the Leo Rowsome set that he ordered and which was passed on to Willie, and later to Liam, and then to Colm. This is the earliest film clip I've seen of Willie playing. Although as Cormac Buzz Ó Briain mentioned on FB it could well be Tommy Reck's B Kenna that we hear in the soundtrack?:
