ROLLING IN THE BARREL [1] (Ag rolladh sa bhairille). AKA – “Roll Out the Barrel.” AKA and see "Blossom of the New Tree (The)," "Fitzgerald's Reel," "Granshaw Glens," "Ladies Tight Dress (The)," "Lord Edward," "Miss Fargherson's New Reel," "Rakes of Abbey (The)," "Short Way to Heaven (A)," "Scotch Bonnet (The)," "Scotch Maggie," "Tap Room (The)," "Bhaintreach na radaireacht." Irish, Reel. D Dorian: E Dorian (Breathnach, Harker/Rafferty, O’Malley). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (O’Malley): AAB (Breathnach, Harker/Rafferty). Often recorded by County Clare musicians. The tune is related to “Tap Room (The)” (the title P.J. and Martin Hayes use) and “Youngest Daughter (1) (The).” The reel was recorded by Kevin Burke as “Roll Out the Barrel," a name that is often interchangeable with "Rolling in the Barrel", however, although cognate, there are differences in the tunes that warrant separate entries.
See also Québec versions of the reel under the title "Charlie Drody's Em Tune," "Reel des colons (1)," "Quadrille "Laurier" 6ème partie" and others, usually with parts reversed from "Rolling in a Barrel [1]."
