FAIRY REEL [1], THE. AKA and see "Daunse ny Farishyn," "Fairey Reel," "Fairy Dance," "Fisher Laddie," "Haymakers," "Largo's Fairy Dance," "Jolly Banger (1) (The)," "Quick Scotch." Irish, Reel. D Major (Taylor, Tubridy): G Major (Taylor/Tweed). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Taylor, Tubridy): AABB (Taylor, Tweed). See note for "Largo's Fairy Dance." "The Fairy Reel" is the name by which the tune is commonly known in Ireland, however, it was originally composed by Nathaniel Gow and published as "Largo's Fairy Dance." The title appears in a list of tunes in his repertoire brought by Philip Goodman, the last professional and traditional piper in Farney, Louth, to the Feis Ceoil in Belfast in 1898 (Breathnach, 1997). The melody is associated with a specific dance in northeast County Donegal, a six-hand reel with four women and two men. See also the related "Spinner's Delight, the Shetland "Faery Dance" and the American Old-Time breakdown "Old Molly Hare."
Source for notated version: set dance music recorded at Na Píobairí Uilleann, late 1980's [Taylor]; Kevin Burke & Jacky Daly's recording "Eavesdropper" [Taylor/Tweed].
