I recorded Eddie playing it in a session on the street at an All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil around 1990. The title somehow suggests that it is a composition of Eddie Kelly, but I'm not certain. I am honoured to have Manus McGuire associated with this collection, and here he gives us his interpretation of this grand jig.

Not knowing whether he'd heard the tune somewhere before, or if it was something new, he went inside and pulled out his fiddle. <br /><br />I was not at home when he rang me, but he played the tune onto my answering machine and asked if I had ever heard it. As soon as I received his message, I returned his phone call and told him that I had never heard the tune before. <br /><br />Later, on one of his CD recordings, <em>Quaker Girl</em>, Tony recorded the tune for posterity and gave it the above title. I am very proud that my friend, the wonderful fiddle player Liz Knowles, kept Tony's interpretation and feeling in mind yet added her very own nuances, colour, and variations when she played the tune for this collection.

A wonderful lady, a great composer and fiddle player, Matilda Murdoch has done much for the music of the Gael. God bless you, my friend. Gabriel Donohue added piano accompaniment to Matilda's fiddle, and we both spoke to her at her home as she celebrated her ninety-second birthday. She loved the track with Gabriel's piano playing. She asked Gabriel if he would go on tour with her &ndash; so young at heart!

I was delighted that she asked me to play it with her, along with Nicole Rabata on flute and Kevin McElroy on mandolin. She tells us how the tune came about: <br /><br />'I wrote this tune for S&eacute;amus first and foremost as a "thank you" for all of the musical wisdom he has imparted to me. However, it is also a tale of the many afternoons spent in S&eacute;amus' music room, learning, listening, playing... Some days we just sat and listened to old albums on the wonderful sound system, the notes vibrating through the varnished floorboards and bouncing off the walls... <br /><br />My favourite afternoons, however, were when it was just the two of us, sitting side by side, playing tunes for the fun of it; maybe S&eacute;amus would think of a special ornament he wanted to show me or a specific tune that was fun to play in a different key. I often enjoyed just sitting back and observing S&eacute;amus when he went on a rant of tunes. I was, and still am, mesmerised by the fluidity and grace of his fingers as they tickle the fingerboard, his bow flying over the strings, his mind at obvious peace. These are my favourite images, frozen in time, S&eacute;amus in another world entirely, just playing because he loves it so. When I play "The North Road", it reminds me of these moments...'<br /><br /><br /> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mette, Meghan (fiddle) (composer) Connolly, Séamus (fiddle) 33682623 Rabata, Nicole (flute) McElroy, Kevin (mandolin) 70994386 Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Séamus Connolly Boston College Libraries Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016-02-12 Relation A related resource Mette, Meghan Connolly, Séamus Rabata, Nicole McElroy, Kevin Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context http://library.bc.edu/connolly/plugins/Dropbox/files/IMC_M064_2013_03_0910.mp3 http://library.bc.edu/connolly/plugins/Dropbox/files/09-10_The_North_Road-Reel.pdf Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" rel="license"><img style="border-width: 0;" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc/4.0/88x31.png" alt="Creative Commons License" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" rel="license">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License</a>.
