What 3-Part Reel Is Johnny B. Connolly Playing?

the second tune in this Johnny B. Connolly set is a three-parter i have heard but don't know....it sounds altan-ish to me, but i'm clueless....can anyone help?

at the fleagull records link, it is in the mp3 clip simply titled "Hamhill (Reels)"

well, johnny led me on a merry google chase by spelling it hamhill, with an "h" in there, thwarting my efforts to find it by clever keyword sleuthing.....it's an amazing tune and he plays it ravishingly....
