TAP ROOM, THE [1]. AKA and see "Tap House (The)," "In the Tap Room," "Banrion Bhealtaine," "B(h)aintreach na Radaireacht," "Blossom of the New Tree (The)," "Captain Murray's Reel," "Cock Your Pistol Charlie (2)," "Drowsy Maggie (1)," "Granshaw Glens," “Hard Road to Travel (2),” "Hopetoun House," "Ladies Tight Dress (The)," "Lord Edward," "Miss Fargherson's New Reel," "Mountain Lark (7) (The)," "Polly's Reel," "Rakes of Abbey (The)," “Ranting Widow (The),” "Roll out the Barrel," "Scotch Maggie," "Scotch Bonnet (The)," "Short Way to Heaven (A)," "Sweet Molly (4),” “Tap the Barrel,” "Youngest Daughter (1) (The)." Irish, Reel (cut time). E Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Flaherty): AAB (Morrison, Taylor). "The Tap Room" was entered into Book 2 (p. 157)[1] of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper Canon wikipedia:James_Goodman_(musicologist), from a manuscript obtained from Dublin bookseller John O'Daly, according to Hugh and Lisa Shields[2]. The reel was first recorded by County Sligo/New York fiddler James Morrison in the 1929 and was printed in his accordion tutor of 1931. Taylor (1992) remarks that "The Queen of May" in Breathnach (Ceol Rince na hÉireann vol. I) has a second part that "is obviously from the same roots as 'The Tap Room,'" but the 'B' part of O'Neill's "Kitty Losty's Reel" is nearly exactly the same as Taylor's for this tune. A Scottish version of the tune is “Sweet Molly (4).” See also related tune “Return to Milltown.” The tune “Hard Road to Travel (2)," learned by flute player Mike Rafferty (b. 1927, Ballinakil, east Galway) from his father Barrel Rafferty, is ‘the old way of playing’ “(In the) Tap Room” (Harker, 2005).

In 1929 “The Tap Room” was recorded by James Morrison with accordion player P.J. Conlon^[1], and later in the century by fiddler Frankie Gavin with the band De Danann.
