| Added by magataganm, 04 Nov 2021 "Cooley's Reel" (also "Luttrell's Pass"), one of the most popular Irish reels of the 20th century, has no ironclad history. Usually played as a two part reel, the third turn surfaced recently on a 2 CD compilation of Sligo fiddler Michael Gorman (1895-1970) which was assembled by Reg Hall for Topic records. The alternate title "Luttrell's Pass" refers to the Battle of Aughrim, fought in Joe Mills' neck of the woods in the early part of the 17th century. Other titles include Joe Cooley's Fancy (Tony McMahon recording), and the Tulla Reel, (Ceol Rince na hEireann, Vol. 1, #200.) There are several stories circulating regarding the origins of this extremely popular session tune. According to David Taylor (1992) the reel was the composition of Co. Mayo and New York fiddler John McGrath (1900–1955), although this assertion does not seem supported elsewhere. Philippe Varlet maintains it was the invention of accordion player Joe Mills of the Aughrim Slopes Céilí Band, who originally entitled it "Luttrell's/Lutrell Pass," a place-name near the site of the Battle of Aughrim (July, 1691). Henry Luttrell was a Jacobite cavalry commander whose forces had been held in reserve to cover the flank, however, when the opportune moment came to counterattack, Luttrell inexplicably had his forces withdraw following a route now known locally as "Luttrell's Pass". He was accused of treachery and having been in the pay of the Williamites and was assassinated in Dublin after the war. Charlie Piggott, writing in his book co-authored with Fintan Vallely, Blooming Meadows (1998), has yet another version of how the composition came to be, related to him by Joe's brother Séamus. Its origins date to the 1940's when the teenaged brothers attended a house session in the neighboring county of Clare. There they listened to an old man with a battered concertina playing in front of an open fire (Séamus remembers some of the buttons had been replaced by cigarette ends!), and one tune in particular caught their attention. On returning home the brothers tried their best to remember what the old man had played, staying up through the night working and worrying the remembered fragments until finally the reel took shape. Séamus credits Joe with the first part of their refashioned piece, while himself taking credit for the turn. Source: TuneArch (https://tunearch.org/wiki/Annotation:Cooley%27s_Reel_( 1)).
