RED BEE, THE. Irish, Reel (whole time). B Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Composed by Dublin-based, County Leitrim multi-instrumentalist (accordion & fiddle) Joe Liddy (1906-1992), born in Killargue. Liddy was a member of An Garda Siochána and of the Garda Céilí Band, and also played with the Belhavel Trio[1] and the Kincora Ceili Band. The tune was popularized by the playing of Kathleen Nesbitt and Maebh Ní Lochlainn, whose father Peadar Ó Lochlainn was instrumental in the publication of Liddy's tunes.
- ↑ The Belhavel Trio were brothers Joe and Tommy Liddy and Westmeath piper Ned Gorman, who broadcast on Radio Éireann in the 1930's and 40's.
