The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
This reel is from the O’Neill collection of Irish melodies. It was recorded on a 78 rpm record of Michael Coleman, who paired it with ‘Farrell O’Gara’s Reel’. I took the liberty to extend it into a three-part reel, with an added variation also in its second part. I think the name speaks for itself.
