Pearse, as well as being a Poet was one of the Folk Music Critics who contributed regularly to the Irish Times newspaper. He was a long-standing friend of Liam Weldon's and sadly died recently.
In this photograph Pearse is reciting one of his own poems which he dedicated to Liam. This was taken at a commemoration which was held shortly after Liam's death, when many of his old friends from the Trad Music scene came to remember him - in many ways Liam was an inspiration to other singers and musicians.
