The only one I recognise is the first of the set of jigs and it is a jig version of the colliers reel

One guy posted this on there:
The second tune is "I Buried My Wife and Danced on Top of Her" (or "The Choice Wife"). The last jig is, I think, (help please) "The Old Wife on the Hay-Mow".

And someone else said the second reel was the Bucks of Oranmore and that there was a slow air in the clip! The only tune I recognized was the jig version of Colliers (aka Do You Want Any More?)

The first tune is a great version of Stranger at the Gate which I need to learn immediately http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/5300
Alf and Gary are right for the first jig I reckon. I submitted it as I thought the jig version was so good it deserves it's own listing.
