"Kiss the Bride", in Gaelic "Póg an Bhrídeog", also known as
"Blackberry Blossom", "The Early Rose" or "The Strawberry Banks" is an Irish reel in
G Major. The parts are played AA'B (O'Neill/1850 & 1001), AABB (Cole, Connolly & Martin)
or AA'BB' (Krassen).
Seamus Connolly (2002) notes that he heard this reel played fairly often on Radio
Telefís Éireann in the 1960's, though adds that it is not played much in recent times.
It was printed in Cole's 1000 Fiddle Tunes (1940),
Connolly & Martin's Forget Me Not (2002),
Krassen's O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1976),
O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903) and
Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907) and
Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1883).
