Back to Father Kelly's Reel (1)


FATHER KELLY'S (REEL) [1]. AKA and see "Rossmore Jetty (The)." Irish, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Harker/Rafferty, Mallinson): AABBCC (Flaherty). Galway cleric Father P.J. Kelly called this tune, his composition, "The Rossmore Jetty," named after a place he went swimming from as a child in Woodford, County Galway. The late (d. 2006), legendary Father Kelly spent time missioning in the South Pacific before returning to Ireland. The second part of the tune is similar to the third part of "Mulvihill's Reel (2)," also a Kelly composition from 1960, originally titled "Derry Craig Wood." See also Kelly's "Sliabh Aughty March" for a similar tune.

Source for notated version: tenor banjo player Tommny Finn (b. 1964, Marlow, Ballymote, Co. Sligo) [Flaherty]; Kerry Elkin (Massachusetts) [Songer].
