'Father Kelly’s' is a lively Irish reel that's great fun to play. It's well-known and loved and is played across the world in pubs, on stage and at Irish music sessions. It is a great reel for beginners and experts alike.

History: Composed by County Galway cleric Father Patrick P.J. Kelly (1925-2006), although popularly called ‘Father Kelly’s’ or ‘Father Kelly’s Reel’ this reel was originally named ‘Rossmore Jetty’ after the pier on the River Shannon near Kelly’s hometown of Woodford in East Galway. Despite hundreds of recordings and performances of his works, Kelly never collected money for his compositions. In 2013, the RTÉ radio show ‘Ceili House’ did a tribute program to Father Kelly on the anniversary of his death.
