Sorry I'm overly fond of this type of discussion either, but mitigating circumstances have forced me to ask does anyone have the names of these two lovely jigs played by the Bridge Ceili Band http://comhaltas.ie/music/detail/comhaltaslive_267_4_bridge_ceili_band/
The mitigating circumstances are that I used to play this set with a friend about 20 odd years ago and this is probably the first time I'd heard them since then.
Also the man on the extreme left hand side seems to play a flute similar to mine. That's the first time I've ever seen anyone else playing one like that in Irish music.
So there ye go.
Ooh-er....I can't have been playing the Tommy Peoples one 20 years ago if, as Bannerman pointed out in 2003 in the comments: "Tommy handed it to a fiddle class in Ennis about 9 years ago"...... but never mind it's a great tune, and thanks very much for the ID.
Tune identification please

Also, of course, are they on the database here?
