This reel celebrates the famous horse fair held every year in the town of Ballinasloe, Co. Galway. One of its great exponents was Paddy Canny of Co. Clare, who became a household name as a great fiddle player. He was often heard playing it on Ciarán Mac Mathúna’s radio program, ‘A Job of Journeywork’.
