Farrell O'Gara

This is one of the big reels of modern sessions. Breandán Breathnach mentions a claim that the Farrell O'Gara of the title was the lord of Moy O'Gara who sheltered the Four Masters, the 17th century compilers of the Annals of Ireland.

Sligo fiddlers Paddy Sweeney and Paddy Killoran recorded it in New York in 1931, paired with "The Silver Spire," and the pairing was so popular that the two titles sometimes got mixed up. Donegal fiddler John McGettigan recorded it as a highland fling around the same time, and Jean Carignan recorded it in Montreal as "Reel Kébec."
