'''GREEN FIELDS OF ROS(S)BEIGH, THE''' (Páirceanna Glasa Ros Beithe). AKA and see "[[Green Banks of Rossbeigh (The)]]," "[[Kerry Reel (1) (The)]]," "[[Witch of the Glen (The)]]." Irish, Reel. E Minor/Dorian. Standard tuning. AAB (Moylan): AABB (Breathnach, Harker/Rafferty, Mallinson). Recorded by County Cavan/Philadelphia fiddler and composer Ed Reavy (1898-1988) for the Victor company in Camden, New Jersey, in 1927 (Victor 21593B), under the title "[[Tom Clark's Fancy]]." However, the first recording of the tune (under the "Rossbeigh" title) was by Kerry fiddler Michael Hanafin (1880-1970) in 1926. In the liner notes to "From Galway to Dublin" Varlet & Spottswood note that Hanafin emigrated to Boston, Mass., around the turn of the last century, and that he performed in piano-player Dan Sullivan's Shamrock Band.
