"Kelly's Cellars" ~ by Josephine Keegan
I've a few transcriptions for this curious reel, and here is another:

And yet another transcription sent to me has the last two parts, B & C, minus the repeat ~ :|... The melody by its nature suggests repeats. Unfortunately I don't have a recording of Josephine at hand anymore to check the transcript against her playing... The ABC's just previous, note for note, are from a transcript that is supposed to be hers, note for note, except, it is also the one missing the repeats... The transcriptions is packed, 8 measures to a line...
I suspect someone will have more to offer and look forward to it...

"Kelly's Cellars" is a pub in Belfast
# Posted on February 14th 2007 by ceolachan
Not just any old pub. People have been drinking in Kelly's Cellars for 200 hundred years or so -- great place for a pint any time of the day and the Saturday sessions were mighty. Hope they still are.

Kelly's Cellars, Bank Lane.
"One of Ireland's oldest bars still retaining a 17th. century feel with its vaulted ceilings, low whitewashed arches, old barrels and low counter. Basic bar food downstairs, but upstairs has more variety. A haunt of visitors from all over the world savouring the bustle of a pub little changed from 1720 when Henry Joy McCracken hid from the redcoats."

This was a transcription on request, a friend...
I hope this goes some ways in meeting your needs. By the time you've read and heard this you will probably have the other dots in hand... Any problems or oddities I take full responsibility for...

This is the oldest pub in Belfast. McHugh's makes a similar claim. McHugh's is an older building than Kelly's, but Kelly's was a pub before McHugh's became one.
