S:”Michael B. Shanahan”
S:P.D. Reidy music manuscript collection, London, 1890’s (No. 26)
N:”Professor” Patrick Reidy of Castleisland was a dancing 
N:master engaged by the Gaelic League in London to teach 
N:dance classes. He introduced “Siege of Ennis” and “Walls 
N:of Limerick” ceili dances and wrote a treatise on dancing. 
N:Reidy told O’Neill that his source, Shanahan was a “celebrated
N:violinist”, the son of a piper born in Kilrush, Co. Clare, with a 
N:great reputation in Kerry and Limerick in the 1860’s. It is unclear
N:where Shanahan was in relation to his acquaintance with Reidy
N:(i.e. in London or Ireland).
