sounds more like it should be a slide to me.

Which one? It's a slide followed by three jigs. The first slide is on Begley/Cooney, I think, I don't know the name. The first jig is Langstrom's Pony, the second is some dead common tune that I'm sure someone else will tell you the name of (can't think of it right now) and the last is the classis Irish classic The Cliffs of Moher.

I appologise for asuming you meant the first tune, not the first jig.

Re: Name the tune?

Am I being stupid, or are the tune names contained in the file name?

Re: Name the tune?

Tune names are in the file name!

Re: Name the tune?

Sorry.
Yep, there are tune names - but only 3 of 4. The first slide (yep, that's a slide) remained unknown.
Thanks :)

"What's with all the clicking, clanging and thumping racket it the background spoiling the tunes?"

Come off it man, it has its rightful place in the tradition, it is the "Irish Drum". It is there to add much needed timbre to the music, to enhance it. Irish music is incomplete without it. All this is non-debatable.
