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.
