This is one of my favourite hornpipes at the moment. On Casey in the Cowhouse he names it Scully Casey's, track 12, second tune. There's also a nice version on "the lark's march" by Patricia Clark. If anyone has any more info about where it comes from, that would be great.
Oh...that's where I've heard it...d'oh! Whoever posted Spirit of West Clare called that Murphy's: http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display/2785 In print: CRÉ III, No. 212, gan ainm. Sean Keane plays it in the Humours of Tullycrine set on Gusty's Frolics, too. Great number, funny about that Shelty tune supplying the 2nd part.
While we're on Bobby Casey, could anyone confirm whether track 17 on "The Spirit of West Clare" is correctly listed on the sleeve notes. Should 'The Gold Ring' actually read 'Strike The Gay Harp' ?
So right you are, that's Bobby recreating another medley from an old 78, this one from James Morrison. For some reason I didn't bother to upload that to archive.org, maybe because the sound is extra crappy, one of those dubs done by holding a mic up to a gramophone speaker.
Here's the file: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zznky2nzzzi Willie Clancy was fond of the Legacy on the whistle. I also have a recording of an old piper, Tom Busby, playing it in a setting more suitable for the pipes - none of that run up to high B in the first part. Busby learned from Mike Carney who was pals with Morrison, they recorded two duets on 78 in 1929. Perhaps I'll upload that later.

Taken from this recording: http://sounds.bl.uk/View.aspx?item=025M-C0903X0493XX-0200V0.xml First tune in his 5 1/2 minute medley. Swear up and down I've heard this elsewhere, but searching for all manner of ABCs has lead nowhere.

Re: Bobby Casey's Hornpipe
To me, it sounds like the A part of Alexander's Hornpipe

and the B part of the Willafjord reel

Re: Bobby Casey's Hornpipe
I'm sure Brian Rooney plays that on one of his albums too.

Re: Bobby Casey's Hornpipe
Quite right there VocalDivaSteed, it's on the Godfather, where it's called the Humours of Tullycryan.
