BELLINGHAM REEL, THE. Irish, Reel (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB.The first strain of Frank Roche's "Crooked Way to Dublin (2) (The)" corresponds with the first strain of "Bellingham Reel," contained in the late 19th/early 20th century music manuscript collection in the possession of Rev. Luke Donnellan (Oriel region, south Ulster). The second strains differ quite a bit melodically but are similar in their structure and harmonic underpinning.
