Sorry, but the link to the tune in the tunes section is a different tune from the one played in the clip. I think there are 5 or 6 different jigs by that name. The tune in the clip is here:
try learning it from his playing. The dots won't carry any of the nyah of his playing, which is wonderful. Then you don't have to worry about whatever version is here there or anywhere.
Try recording the tune on your computer using Audacity (or something similar) as you download/play the video. Then you can play it over and over as you need it.
Been said before, but worth saying again... this is aural music and doesn't really have anything to do with written notation.
Cheers & good luck - it's a magnificent tune
It's a B/C. The easiest way to tell is by watching the pushing and pulling of the bellows. The first few seconds of the clip starts with the final D chord of this same tune and you can see it's on the pull. It would be push on a C#/D. Another dead giveaway - at about 1:43 you can see 3 long notes A3 - B3 - A3, also all on the pull. They would have to be push-pull-push on C#/D.

There is a utube of him playing "King of the Pipers" I'd like to know where I can get the music and also is he playing a B/C box?

As far as I understand he plays both B/C and C#/D so which he is playing here I wouldn't know.
You could always ask him yourself though through the member's email:

Re: Damien Mullane
Believe it or not, that was the second tune I ever learned. (What I was doing learning a 4 part jig, I'll never know...)
But I haven't played that in years... That is really fantastic - I can see how he won all Ireland with it! I'll be back, I gotta go play that tune...

Great vid, thanks for posting the link.
(But isn't it incredible what utter cr@p gets posted in comments to YouTube videos?)
