Tune of the Day: The Swells of Coolrahan
Traditional Irish reel
This reel is taken from Francis O'Neill's collection Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melod,, published in 1922. O'Neill cites the “Pat. Dunne manuscript” as his source, and remarks that “Mr. Dunne was a farmer of the townland of Kilbraugh not far from Thurles, Tipperary.”
