In the early part of the 20th century, Seamus Ennis roved the Irish countryside collecting folk songs and airs by the hundreds for his radio shows on both Radio Eireann and the BBC. His encyclopedic knowledge and immaculate playing made him the leading authority of Irish music in his day. The BONNY BUNCH OF ROSES pares down his vast catalog to fourteen tracks that run the length of Irish folk music and song, with notes on each song by Seamus himself.
