CRÚ CAPAILL, AN (The Horse Shoe). AKA and see "Patsy Geary's (2)." Irish, Double Jig. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. As Kelly had no name for the tune, Breathnach supplied one of his own making. The Horse Shoe was the name of the shop John Kelly (-1982) owned and ran in Capel Street, Dublin, just a few blocks from the Piper's Club and other notable musical venues. The alternate title, "Patsy Geary's", honors a professional fiddler from County Tipperary, who was a mentor and playing partner of Kelly's from his early days in County Clare.

Source for notated version: fiddler John Kelly/Sean O'Kelly (Dublin, Ireland) [Breathnach].
