Anyone know the name of the first tune?

[ZiziAllaire]

@oisintiger First tune is "The Old Man's Blackthorn". The banjo player here, Charlie Piggot, recorded it over over 20 years later on box, with fiddler Gerry Harrington, on their album The New Road.

I'm pretty sure it's the cuckoo's nest...

[ZiziAllaire]

@W0bbl344 The Cuckoo's Nest hornpipe.

By far the best group this music has ever seen...nobody else comes close!
