Nathalie Macmaster dvd - Name of Cape Breton tunes?

I've recently bought Natahlie Macmaster's dvd fiddle lesson, to get a introduction to the Cape Breton style, ornaments etc.
In the booklet with the dvd there are sheets (and names) to most of the tunes played at the dvd, but not to the three intro tunes. I belive if I sit down I can learn the tunes by ear, but I really want the name of these tunes? It's a strathspey, followed up with two reels. Do anyone know the name of these tunes?

My kind of challenge... hehehe
The first reel is Sheehan's, but I'll have to look a little deeper for the rest. I'll let you know if I find them.

Thanks for that one and I hope some find the others, I belive they are at one of MacMasters albums, but I don't know I don't have any.

The tune following Sheehan's is a Scottish tune named "We'll Aye Gang Back To Yon Town". You'll find it in the Alexander Walker collection. I have submitted it to the tunes section.

Thanks, that last one was the tune I liked best. Tomorrow I will start learning it.
