Francis Senior & Junior, father (b1885)
and son (b1917) were the first Irish musicians, this century, to sing
and harmonise to their own accompaniment using the Irish Uillean (elbow)
bagpipes - 11 songs & 9 instrumentals, on which they are joined by
Francie's other son, James (b1936) on Celtic Harp. It was with this combination,
that they won first prize at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod in
Wales for 3 years - recorded by Peter Kennedy in London 1961 |
