"Matt Cunningham: Dance Music Of Ireland: Volume 11"
I had been holding out on submitting the last few of the Matt Cunningham recordings of dance music, volumes 11 - 14, wanting to secure names for all the tracks. Slainte / Hiro was given this recording as a gift and asked to test his skill at finging the names. He didn't do too bad, managing 24. I'd found some others, and much currently tagged as gan ainm are very familiar. I'll keep looking and if I can't find them on site here I'll find them elsewhere and will little by little edit out as many more of these gan ainms as possible...
Tk. 2 The Steeplechase
Tk. 3 The Doon / Tommy Peoples
Tk 7 First slide is Seamus Creagh's
Tk 8 Second one is Scattery Island
Tk 22 First one is The Silver Vale (Lad O'Beirne's Jig)
I have since learned of advances on site here, that I can now correct my previous oversights and have added the missing tune in the set, "Paddy Cronin's". Great improvement Jeremy, thanks for making it possible to correct oversights, missed tunes...

I was actually going to post this later on today. I was just researching my own 'gan ainms' at the moment but to no avail.
