-'''BOYS OF THE LOUGH, THE''' (Buachaillí na Locha). AKA and see "Rakes of Clonmel [2]," "Barrel Rafferty's Reel," "Jerome's Farewell to Gibraltar," "Johnstown Reel," "The Rose of Castletown." Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Flaherty): AABB (Brody, Allan's): AABB' (Cranford/Holland): ABCD (Breathnach): ABCDEFGHIJKL (Miller). A very popular session reel. "Boys of the Lough" was popularized by fiddler Michael Coleman, originally from Kilavil, County Sligo, although the melody was "ever part of the local ...repertoire," according to '''Blooming Meadows''' (1998) authors Charlie Piggott and Fintan Vallely. Coleman (1891-1945) recorded the tune in 1922 in New York. O'Neill (in '''400 Choice Selections''') prints the tune under the title "Johnstown Reel," while Roche has a version called "The Rose of Castletown." See also similarly titled "Boys From the Lough." "Barrell Rafferty's Reel"/"Master McDermott" is a related tune, as is the Canadian "Jerome's Farewell to Gibraltar," popularised under that title by radio and TV fiddler Don Messer.
