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.
John Kelly of Capel Street in Dublin named this reel after Abbey Theatre actor and storyteller Eamonn Kelly (no relation). It’s rooted in the old west Clare fiddling tradition and linked to an early generation of fiddlers like Patsy Geary and Dinny Meskill.
