Castle reel
I've always known this tune as the "Castle" reel, which is the name given to it inBulmer & Sharpley's 2nd collection of tunes. It's in Em/G - Mary Bergin certainly isn't playing it with 4 sharps.

Uhh...
The four sharps are clearly mistaken. The tune's in Em/G -- one sharp dude!

(the poster obviously meant it to be Em.)

Supposedly a composition of Sligo fiddler Paddy Killoran. He called it On The Road To Lurgan, and plays it on the Milestone at the Garden record, in Em, too.
I've always heard this played in Am, and without all the rolls that this setting has. It was also recorded in Am in the 40's by a group called the Belhavel Trio, this is on one of the Topic CD's.

I think this is a traditional tune and closely related to "The Fermoy Lasses."

Key
I can see where someone might say Edor as the triplets are played with c# it sounds like. But she can play in any key she wants with the right whistle, and in fact it's on an Eb whistle on the album. I enjoy the sort of rhythmic ambiguity in the last line.

Kevin Crawford plays a 3 part version of this on Wooden Flute Obsession

Correction, the Kevin Crawford tune is completely different and can be found as the Cashmere Shawl on the data base.

Slainte, this tune is very similar to the Fermoy Lasses, but how come you're so sure they're actually related? That implies that one is directly descended from the other. Isn't there a chance that their similarity is coincidental?
# Posted on September 13th 2007 by Dow
Their similarity might be just a coinsidence. Who knows?

The hut in the bog
Or they may even derive from a common source, now lost.

I admit I have used the expression "related" rather carelessly on this site, as Dow points out. I wouldn't use it now. In the original post in 2005, I think, I tried to question the statement that this is Paddy Killoran's composition. Has anybody else heard of the authorship of this tune?
