They sneak a bit of another hornpipe in there, I think, then go back to the Derry. That other one sounds tantalizingly familiar, but I can't put a name to it.
Just had a listen to these tunes. Here are a few observations . The first tune 'The wind that shakes the barley' is a short two part reel, but he played it eight times. Now that is what makes Irish Trad Music boring. It's a short reel, but three times is enough then change the tune. The second reel 'The Dublin Reel' a three part reel, usually played in the key of D, but I always feel that the G version with slight variations is a much brighter tune. You will notice that the fiddler dropped out for that tune and the piper pressed on and played the tune three times. Bad form to leave a musician sitting picking his nose. Play the tune twice and and then bring the other musician back to the fold by changing to something that you feel he may know.
The last tune was the Derry hornpipe, or the Londonderry, depending with what foot you kick with. They played four parts which is usual, but I have often heard five and sometimes six parts played to this great tune.
Dingle session tune.

Please help with the second tune title, starting at 4.25 in this:

Re: Dingle session tune.
At about 6:22--Lad O'Beirnes, maybe?

Re: Dingle session tune.
I think 6:22 is the start of the fourth part, the last part on the video version.

has 6 parts, more than enough.

Re: Dingle session tune.
Thanks, Lurcher, you're right--I have been playing only the A and B parts--I guess I have another four parts to learn.
