Ballinasloe Fair

Reel · 4/4 · A dorian

Ballinasloe Fair is a traditional Irish reel in A Dorian and 4/4 meter associated with the famous annual horse fair in County Galway. Because the composer and exact historical origins of the tune are not documented, it survives as a standard part of the traditional session repertoire. Characterized by a lively and rhythmic structure, it is typically played with a driving cadence suited for both dancing and instrumental performance.
