BELLES OF TIPPERARY [2]. AKA and see: "Ceolchumann (An)," "New Policeman (1) (The)," "Music Club (The)." Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Mulvihill): AABB (Black). A close variant of "Belles of Tipperary (1)" (see note for that tune). Related to "Miss Monaghan’s Reel" family of tunes, and persistently identified as a variant of the "New Policeman," although New York writer, musician and researcher Don Meade concludes that is a false identification. The "Miss Monaghan’s Reel" family of tunes includes "Barrow Castle (The)," "Blea-berry Blossom (The)," "Ceolchumann (An)" (The Music Society), "Connacht Lasses," "Connacht Star (The)," "Dandy Girl (The)/Dandy Lass (The)/Dandy Lasses (The)," "Four Courts of Dublin (The)," "Green Fields to America," "Kerry Star (The)," "Lamont's Reel," "Jackson's Welcome to Cork (1)," "Johnny Shooting in the Glen," "Mel Roddy's Tune" (northeast Kings County, PEI), "Miss Monaghan’s Reel," "New Policeman (1) (The)," "O'Connell in Clare," "Shannon's Shores," "Stormy Weather," "White-haired Piper (The)." Philippe Varlet finds the first recording of the tune, called "Bells of Tipperary" (note the absence of the 'e'), to be by fiddler Frank Quinn on a 78 RPM released in 1934. Despite the title on that record, it is thought (by Don Meade, for one) that there is supposed to be an 'e' in the 'Belle' of the title, referencing a young woman.
