Tunes by other names..

Tunes by other names..

G'day all,
I hope I dont get into trouble here as I tried to post this in the requests section without any luck...anyway...here goes..
I have a video of a Comhaltas concert called Echos of Erin and on it there are two nice tunes by Fluter Tommy Guihan (acc. by Mary Kelly on Harp )...
The tunes are called "The Fishermans Farewell" and "The One that got Away".I've searched everywhere for these tunes and failed...
Would any one know of these tunes by different names please ???
Thanks for your help...best wishes from Oz.....zoukboy...

Google found this at http://www.geocities.com/Nashville/8773/Reels.txt by searching for "T:Fisherman's Farewell".

X: 22
T: Fisherman's Farewell
T: House on the Hill
L: 1/8
R: Reel
M: 4/4
K: G

"The One That Got Away" seems like a familiar title, but a search of my iTunes library only finds one hit, a song by John Gorka, which is certainly not what you're seeking. Google didn't find it for me.

Zoukboy - Are both of the tunes reels? There's a lovely Paddy O'Brien jig called The One That Was Lost.

...and the tune Gary has posted above is also in the tune database, under the name of The Bellharbour:

Ah, that's why the title was familiar. I've heard the jig played by the Kane Sisters, though they haven't recorded it yet.

You're in luck, "zoukboy". I got this video tape from ebay last year. The guys have correctly identified "The Bellharbour".
The 2nd reel is "The Piper's Despair" :

Fine playing by Tom Guihan.
