Ah, just remembered where I know the second one, the Ballydesmond #2 from, The Chieftain's 'Water from the Well', though the comments for that recording have it as #1?!
Here's a stripped-down ABC version of what they are playing for the third polka in this set:
X:1
T:Polca Gan Ainm
C:Unknown
M:2/4
R:polka
L:1/8
Q:260
K:G
d2 ed | cA A2 | d2 ef | g2 g2 |
d2 ed | cA A2 | eg fe | d2 d2 :|
f2 fd | g2 gd | f2 fd | gf ed |
f2 fd | g2 gd | (3efg fe | d2 d2 :|
I couldn't find anything with the ABC search, though I haven't written with any swing. Here's the only thing close that I've been able to find here on the site:
X: 1
T: Jimmy Doyle's
M: 2/4
L: 1/8
R: polka

Tunes from link?
Got this link from this site sometime in the last few days, bookmarked it, and now can't remember where I got it from-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmE_HM3AUZw&feature=related
Was hoping to get the tune names for this set. The first two are quite familiar, the third I want to say I've only heard once or twice.
Thanks!

Re: Tunes from link?
The first Polka has been named as Denis Doody's here

Thanks for the link upmine3. I've found it here on The Session:

I just listened to the midi for the Ballysdesmond #2 and that's definitely it, not that I would mistrust someone with the user name of Reverend!
Anybody know the third?

Re: Tunes from link?
Yeah, I think they might all be officially named "The Ballydesmond", and people try to put numbers to them to help keep them apart...

It's another of those lumped as 'The Ballydesmond' and I'm thinking the 'Gan Ainm' perhaps could be a version of this tune?
