Seamus Fay
Of the more than fifty transcribed performances, thirty are by Seamus Fay of Cavan, Ireland. He was the all Ireland lilting champion in 1959, 1960, 1961, and 1969. These excerpts are from his recording Seamus Fay: Cavan’s Lilter which is out of print. Syllables uniquely his seem to be diary, dumpa, dumpadee, and lumpa.
