Back to Keadue Polka
KEADUE POLKA. AKA and see "Armagh Polka," "Egan's Polka (2)," "John Ryan's Polka," "Sean Ryan's Polka." Irish, Polka. Keadue is in north Co. Roscommon and is called Céideadh in Irish Gaelic. The village lies about a mile from Kilronan cemetery in which is buried the remains of the great Irish harper O Carolan (1670-1738). This popular polka is known by a variety of names, and is considered nowadays as a beginner's tune. Often called "Sean Ryan's Polka", the tune was coined "Keadue Polka" on flute player Josie McDermott's recording "Darby's Farewell," and, as Josie had no name for it, the melody was called by the name of the nearby village.
