I take it you have looked at the tunes on 'Riverdance - Music from the Show' on this website?

I think Bill Whelan wrote them himself and some of them are probably macedonian.

I cant rememer recognising any of them , with the exception of the odd solo by Eileen Ivers - Jenny's Chickens, and Michael Flattley - The Masons Apron and the Coolin.

Good Luck

Thanks for all replies so far.
Info such as "Eileen Ivers - Jenny's Chickens, and Michael Flattley - The Masons Apron and the Coolin" is most useful. The tracklist is not enough (but thanks anyway Splendid) as I am trying to find the names of any trad tunes that might be contained within the set/track.

sorry, that should have been "thanks anyway Whistler"
