Name of this top tune?

Name of this top tune?

Stumbled across a great video on YouTube... strangely it is very green and there is a guy randomly eating in the background, apart from that, it is fine, fine music indeed.

"Hi I'm Dan Foster.

I'm a 20 year old based in Manchester. Although in September I will be undertaking the "Folk Degree" in Newcastle though please don't judge me on that. I won't turn into a brat and systematically wreck Irish sessions with tossy modern tunes played at 100 miles an hour accompanied by my rock turned acoustic guitar wielding mates."

FYI. not being able to play your instrument doesn't qualify you as some kind of purist!
