N:”Professor” Patrick Reidy of Castleisland was a dancing
N:master engaged by the Gaelic League in London to teach
N:dance classes. He introduced “Siege of Ennis” and “Walls
N:of Limerick” ceili dances and wrote a treatise on dancing.
N:Reidy's source, Daniel Kelleher, was variously said to have been
N:from Castleisland, Sliabh Luachra region, County Kerry, or from
N:the native-Irish speaking region of Achadh Bolg, Múscraigh, in
N:County Cork. Reg Hall (2017) also found a reference to Kelleher
N:as one of the soloists who accompanied step dancing exhibitions
N:at Gaelic League events in London between 1897 and 1901.  According
N:to Hall, Kelleher was a young fiddle player active within the
N:Gaelic League. His name is attached to thirteen tunes in Reidy's collection.
