JOHN KELLY'S SLIDE [1] (Sleamhnán Sheáin Uí Cheallaigh). AKA and see "Tim Griffin's Slide," "Ab's Slide (2)." Irish, Jig (6/8 time) or Slide (12/8 time). Ireland, Kerry? D Major. Standard tuning. AA'B (Breathnach): AABB (Black, Brody, Mallinson, Taylor, Tubridy): AA'BB' (Moylan). Fiddle and concertina player John Kelly was born in the district of Rehy West, County Clare, in 1912. Cowdery (1990) remarks he was strongly influenced by other Clare musicians including piper Willie Clancy, and by the traveling piper Johnny Doran. Kelly made Dublin his home in 1945 and by 1959 he had become one of the founding memberrs of Sean O' Riada's group "Ceoltoiri Chualann." After that group broke up in 1969 he and fellow "Ceoltoiri Chualann" alumnus Eamonn de Buitlear formed a similar group, called "Ceoloiri Laighean." The tune is recognizably based on the identifying strain of the ballad "Boyne Water (1)."
