The slip jig sounds like a version of one played by Matt Molloy on his album "Heathery Breeze", which he called The Fisherman's Jig. If you look up this tune on the Molloy album in the Recordings section, you can get to it in the Tunes section - but you may find the tune there has a different name, or is even another tune!

The slip jig is not the Fisherman's Jig, but a very similar tune called the Whinney Hills of Leitrim http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1064
