Looking for tune lists - any format. Haven't been able to find intact lists on the web - loads of references to tunes and players from these recordings, but no lists.
I have an old tape of number 2 and when I made it (over 20 years ago) I neglected to copy the liner notes. Here's what I've been able to piece together subsequently. I think the sean-nos singer is Joe Heaney but I'm not sure and can't be bothered to Google for the results. I have no idea of the names of any of his songs, and the tune titles are the ones I know the tunes by, not necessarily what the artist or publisher called them. I think I may have got the Irish titles of some of Ennis' contributions from a piper friend.

Between 31 and 32, Gannon played Tom Moran’s Fancy/The Streamstown (single jigs).
Thank you kindly! I'll post these to Recordings along with some other lists of 1960s-1970s vintage lp tracks. I'm finally converting all my old cassettes to mp3s and have handwritten notes on some of them and really appreciate such lists when I find them!
Ah, don't thank me. Well, yes, thank me, but it was Joel Shimberg who sent me these, I think he got them from Paul De Grae, the Smokey Chimmney guitarist.
Too bad they're not on board here...or are they? Sharp apples, them two.
Don´t mean to nitpick here, but I think you´ll find that items 6-9 above were played by Seán Ó Ceallaigh. Numbers 6,7 and 8 were on the concertina and Nº 9 on the fiddle.
Nº 10 is correctly stated as played on the fiddle by Seán Ó Ceallaigh (or John Kelly), as are also items 11 to 14.
Seán Ó Conaire was the singer on the album.
