A popular session reel. Galway flute and concertina players Jack and (Fr.) Charlie Coen call this tune "Drag Her Around the Road." "Abbey Reel" derives its title from the Abbey Theater of Lower Abbey Street, Dublin, a famous venue, today part of the National Theatre of Ireland. The Abbey opened its doors in 1904 with a mission of producing the best in Irish plays and dramas, although in the course of The tune was popular with the group of musicians assembled by the theatre's musical director, Sean O Riada (1931-1971), to provide music for a mid-1960's production of J.M. Synge's Playboy of the Western World (the play's first performance, also at the Abbey in 1907, led to audience riots due to its perception as a scandalous work). Vallely (Learn to Play the Tin Whistle with the Armagh Pipers Club), vol. 2; 22.
