Brigid Tunney

In 1952, when her son Paddy was contacted by Seán O Boyle and Peter Kennedy regarding being recorded for the BBC, he persuaded the folk collectors to travel to his home district of Mulleek in north-west Fermanagh where, over two days, he arranged to have as many of the local musicians and singers as possible lined up and ready to go.

Peter Kennedy later released these under the Folk Trax label as an album entitled The Mountain Streams.
