Last night there was an interesting bit of footage from an outing of the Pipers Club from 1949. Young Willie Clancy among a lot of others (the movie was silent but had some Rowsome playing dubbed in). Any ideas who the fella with the wild looking hair was Willie was playing a duet with?

Must be because you’re in a different time zone. :wink:

5

Lovely.

No, but I was surprised not to see Leo Rowsome. Did I miss him?

The piper to his left is Sean Seery. I think the piper to his left again is Tom Rowsome.

Tommy

Thanks for that Tommie. I don’t know why but I seem to have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to Sean Seery.

Same here, I didn’t even think of Sean Seery, thought it could have been a young Tommy Reck with a fag instead of a pipe. An interesting film clip I didn’t expect. I’ve always hoped that someone may have filmed or wire recorded Johnny Doran at some point during the 1940’s.

There is a CD with Johnny Doran for sale at NPU made from material from arround 1948.

I don’t know, plenty of pipers (and makers) entertain the black dog more or less regularly
