The Album tag for this will say "The Morning Brush," its title in cassette form, which was PK mangling the title of the reel "The Morning Thrush," which Séamus's father composed and is now a popular tune with pipers.
Here's a cleaned up track listing for the Music at the Gate recording:
01 - Séamus Ennis - My Father And Mother Were Irish
02 - Séamus Ennis - The Banks Of The Roses (Tune On Fiddle & Song)
03 - Séamus Ennis - The Groves Hornpipe, O'Dwyer's Hornpipe
04- Séamus Ennis – Molly Bawn
05 - Séamus Ennis - The Praties Are Dug (With Mouth Music)
06 - Séamus Ennis - The New Demesne (Instrumental On Uilleann Pipes)
07 - Séamus Ennis - The Bonny Boy Is Young But He's Growing
08 - Séamus Ennis - The Whistling Thief
09 - Séamus Ennis - The Trip Over The Mountain (Instrum On U Pipes)
10 - Séamus Ennis - Brian O Linn
11 - Séamus Ennis - Captain Wedderburn's Courtship
12 - Séamus Ennis - The Mountain Dew
13 - Séamus Ennis - Uncle Rat Went Out To Ride
14 - Séamus Ennis - The Boyne Hunt (Reel On U-Pipes)
15 - Séamus Ennis – Sho Heen Sho Ho (Fairy Lullaby)
16 - Séamus Ennis - Music At The Gate (Instrum On Tin-Whistle)
17 - Séamus Ennis - The Old Orange Flute (Percy French)
18 - Séamus Ennis - Calm Avonree
19 - Séamus Ennis - Cucanandy Nandy, The Old Woman Tossed Up In A Blanket (With Mouth Music & Whistle)
20 - Séamus Ennis - Lord Gregory (Child Ballad #76)
21 - Séamus Ennis - The Brown Thorn (Slow Air On U Pipes)
22 - Séamus Ennis - Football Crazy
23 - Séamus Ennis - The Herring Song
PK left out the Groves medley of hornpipes; and didn't actually record any of this material either; listen to the samples at http://www.lomaxarchive.com/ This was put on tape by AL in 1951/53. Peter may have recorded the Pied Piper material; seem to recall that the second half was done by AL or Jean Ritchie though. I have some concert tapes of Séamus from 1964 and he sings many of these same songs, plays/sings the Old Woman Tossed up in a Blanket, etc. No Football Crazy or Herring's Head though. Grand to hear more of him. There are scattered tracks of Séamus in the Folktrax catalog, a cut of An raibh tú ag an gCarraig?/Bucks of Oranmore on a disc of Scottish/Irish music he presents, him and PK playing some reels for a Christmas program. Never had the $$$$ to indulge in all of these unfortunately.
Floss, what are the rules about uploading tracks? Copyright and so forth. I have a few old recordings (Tommy Potts, Ennis, Rowsome, etc. ) some people might enjoy.
In the case of Rowsome and Tom Ennis (piper) I uploaded a heap of their 78s to archive.org; I checked with Kevin Rowsome before doing so, and made mention of any commercial recordings I could think of where you can buy their music, to stay in the clear.
I've thought about starting up a blog with downloads of some of the rarities I have, but an awful lot of it was given to me with the understanding that it wasn't for mass distribution, and I'm sticking to that, even though I don't trade as much anymore.
I might put up dubs of some of the out-of-print LPs I have, though; this Folktrax material falls under that heading far as I can tell.
Well, as Spike Milligan once demanded to know, why are there only two sexes? He replied to himself with "It's not enough, I tell you!" The rest of the sketch is too filthy to repeat. However, to quote the blessed St Bo of Diddley, "I'm a man, spelt M-A-N', which is why I rather resent being referred to as 'Flossy'.
To answer MaxF, as this site is based in the UK and the recordings I've uploaded were issued there I'm using The Copyright Act's 50 year rule. In other words, as the late Peter Kennedy acknowledged to me himself, anything issued prior to 1959 is no longer covered by copyright.
Lastly, because I'm aware that Mediafire personal sites can be accessed by those in the know, I hope that all of you who downloaded the 'Unreleased Matt Molloy & Tommy Peoples duets' are thoroughly enjoying the experience!

"But wondering - why was it important to lie close to the wall?"
Who was it that said "If you got to ask, you'll never know?" ;)
Usual kudos, Floss. And while we're at it, here's another PK production of Séamus : http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=46a5dc240b94a254c79b87b207592a1cf8ef7a1ef163c24e5621d66e282a0ee8 So that's "uploads." This is "The Pied Piper of Dublin": http://folktrax-archive.org/menus/cassprogs/374.htm, the second half especially is him at the peak of his abilities.
The Album tag for this will say "The Morning Brush," its title in cassette form, which was PK mangling the title of the reel "The Morning Thrush," which Séamus's father composed and is now a popular tune with pipers.
Here's a cleaned up track listing for the Music at the Gate recording:
01 - Séamus Ennis - My Father And Mother Were Irish
02 - Séamus Ennis - The Banks Of The Roses (Tune On Fiddle & Song)
03 - Séamus Ennis - The Groves Hornpipe, O'Dwyer's Hornpipe
04- Séamus Ennis – Molly Bawn
05 - Séamus Ennis - The Praties Are Dug (With Mouth Music)
06 - Séamus Ennis - The New Demesne (Instrumental On Uilleann Pipes)
07 - Séamus Ennis - The Bonny Boy Is Young But He's Growing
08 - Séamus Ennis - The Whistling Thief
09 - Séamus Ennis - The Trip Over The Mountain (Instrum On U Pipes)
10 - Séamus Ennis - Brian O Linn
11 - Séamus Ennis - Captain Wedderburn's Courtship
12 - Séamus Ennis - The Mountain Dew
13 - Séamus Ennis - Uncle Rat Went Out To Ride
14 - Séamus Ennis - The Boyne Hunt (Reel On U-Pipes)
15 - Séamus Ennis – Sho Heen Sho Ho (Fairy Lullaby)

20 - Séamus Ennis - Lord Gregory (Child Ballad #76)
21 - Séamus Ennis - The Brown Thorn (Slow Air On U Pipes)
