Séamus Ennis, recorded by John Knight in Chichester 07th June 1974.
From John Knight's Collection, Tape_108
...
Great crack, tunes and songs from Séamus Ennis, at his gig in Chichester, England, in 1974. This is the first time this recording has been made public, given that it's been sat on the original cassette tape, tucked away in a box, since 1974. It's been a pleasure to extract the recording and remaster this today. Some great conversation from Séamus here, with a lot of backstories and folklore associated with his tunes.

He named them all too, so here's the list:

The Dark Woman of The Glen (song)
Tae ab'ea a Theastaíonn is Tú Tinn? / When Sick is it Tea You Want? (tune)
Kiss The Maid Behind The Barrell (tune)
An Leanbh Sidhe / The Faeries’ Hornpipe (tunes)
Boys Keep Away from the Girls I Say (song)
My Bonnie Blue-Eyed Lassie (song)
The Leitrim Thrush, Miss Johnson (tunes)
The Brown Thorn (song)
Slievenamon (tune)
Drops of Brandy, The Fair Haired Canavans (tunes)
Did The Rum Do? (tune)
Green Broom (song)
The Bucks of Oranmore (tune)
[Bonus] - The Rare Old Mountain Dew (song), Ennis
