Back to Kennaw's Reel (2)


KENNAW'S REEL [2]. Irish, Reel. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. According to Abeyta et al [1] "Gna" Mac Cionaith--McKenna--was a respected school teacher at Costelloe's Farm in Ballyhorgan, Kerry, and a skilled fiddler. He had a physical handicap, record the authors, but was able to get around on a donkey, "like other fiddle masters, namely Tom Billy Murphy." He is thought to have died in the early 20th century.

See also "My Love and I in the Garden" in Frank Roche's collection, cognate in the first strain, less similar in the second.
