movie tunes

hello, i know irish tunes in movies has been discussed before, but i'm wondering about a particular movie that i didnt find any information on after searching. i've been trying to figure out the names of tunes (or at least how to play them) from the movie Treasure Island with charlton heston. paddy moloney arranged the music for this movie and the chieftans performed it. im new to irish music so i dont know if these are well known tunes but i do know that the cup of tea is one of the tunes played in that movie. if anyone could please tell me what the tunes are from that movie(or where i could find out) i would be much obliged, thank you in advance.

Re: movie tunes

I dont recognise them, they sound fairly generic, maybe especially composed?

Dzoni - I didn't get a chance to listen to them last night - see what you mean after hearing them now. The march comes more from classical music than Irish by the sounds of it.
