Some musicians have referred to this reel as ‘Patrick Kelly’s Reel’ because of its being given to Dublin fiddle player Sean Keane by Patrick, who was an old traditional fiddler from Cree in Co. Clare. It’s a tune that was almost extinct but for the fortunate intervention of Sean, who introduced it in the mid sixties again to be played by musicians all over Ireland.
