"Boil the Breakfast Early, in Gaelic Ullmuig An Prim-Beile Go Moc, also known as
"Court Her Along the Road", "The Lasses' Fashion", "Peadar's Reel" or "Wild Irishman" is an
Irish reel in G Major. The parts are played AB (O'Neill, Stanford/Petrie, Vallely),
AA'BB' (Harker) or ABC (Alewine, Mulvihill). The reel is popular with uilleann pipers.
Notice that the A and B parts end on the IV chord leading into the next part so the
tune has the feel of one continuous part.
It was printed in Alewine's Maid that Cut Off the Chicken's Lips (1987),
Feldman & O'Doherty's The Northern Fiddler (1979),
Harker's 300 Tunes from Mike Rafferty (2005),
Mulvihill's 1st Collection (1986),
O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907),
Stanford/Petrie's Complete Collection (1905),
Treoir, vol. 34, No. 4 (2002) and
Vallely's Play 50 Reels with Armagh Pipers Club (1982).
It was recorded by The Chieftains on The Best of the Chieftains (1992),
Leo Rowsome (1966),
Paddy Glackin & Robbie Hannan on The Whirlwind (1995).
