TULLAMORE PIPER, THE (An Piobaire Ua Tulad-Moir). AKA and see "Bummer's Reel (1)," "Reilly's Own." Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Tullamore Piper" was probably named by O'Neill for his source, Chicago piper Bernard Delany who was born in the county town of Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland. The hornpipe is often played as a reel in Cape Breton, as in Andrea and Kinnon Beaton’s rendition on “The Beaton Family of Mabou” (2004).
