Tune ID - Josephine Marsh and Mick Kinsella

Does anyone know the tune they're playing on The Full Set here:

and if you're in the mood, what is the first tune on this clip:

I thought there'd be a tune list for that episode, but haven't found one.
Cheers
Martin

Martin, the tune on The Full Set is Junior Crehan's "Her Long Dark Hair Flowed Down Her Back."

And that first tune on the other clip sure sounded familiar to me. Couldn't quite place it--the B part is reminiscent of Dusty Windowsills, but clearly a different tune. So I put a bit of abcs into Reverend's tune finder and it took me straight to Off to the Hunt:

Of course, Josephine and Mick are playing it in Fdor, not Edor as posted by Ptarmigan.

Thanks very much Will. I'm embarrassed I didn't recognize the Junior Crehan tune as I was taught it only 4 months ago at Willie Week! That was a more air-like version though.

Yep, Josephine and Mick are playing it at a fair clip. I've heard it more often played slower, at a lope, or as you say, as slow reel, almost air.

Looks like Mick playing on chromatic harmonica, does anybody know smth about his style? is he using reversed slide harmonicas?

Mick does indeed use reverse-slide chromatic harmonicas.
