There was a period of my life where I listened to track #13 every day to and from work, just to make it a good day.
1991 live recording of a session in Pepper's featuring Tommy and Siobhán Peoples, Kevin Crawford, P.J. King, Andrew MacNamara and Pat Marsh. Great stuff.
I'm afraid I haven't heard this recording, so I won't vouch for the second tune in Track 10 being the same "Brendan McMahon's" as the tune I just posted (no. 1981).
The tune listed as Sean Ryan's is posted here as Gan Ainm http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1498/details and further identified as Aughacashel. I transcribed the banjo setting and posted it in the comments section.
contrary to the link info here, the "tony smith's" listed in track 2 is NOT the jig sometimes called "tony smith's." it is not a jig at all, but a reel. i'm having the devil of a time figuring out what reel it goes by elsewhere---it kinda sounds like "cottage in the grove" in a different key, but not sure......
ok, after extensive sleuthing, i think i may have id'd the lovely tune played by box player andrew macnamara on track 2 right after "the broken pledge" and listed as "tony smith's." again---it is NOT the tony smith jig.
this reel was recorded as "Caoilte Mountains" on mary macnamara's first solo cd, "traditional music from east clare." the liner notes associate it with conor tully of galway; the tune does seem to be associated with east/south galway---i also located it on "music on the wind," by ballinakil flute player sean moloney, who calls it "trip to the meadow," and relates that he got it from east galway fiddler lucy farr. moloney also notes that galway box great joe burke calls the tune "mcgovern's" after the gent he got it from.
Great Album

Paddy O'Brien's
Does anybody know about the tunes in track 7 called "Paddy O'Brien's"?
Which Paddy? If I had to guess I'd say Paddy RIP...
These two tunes are familiar enough to my ear but I don't have names for either of them.
Cheers.

1st of the Paddy Tunes has been identified as the "Swallow's Nest"

Transcription of 2nd Paddy tune available

Mystery solved
Alright then - the 2nd POB tune in that set is not actually a POB tune at all, and the transcription posted here has been removed.

Wow, your tune posting vanished really quickly didn't it?

The "Martin Wynne's" on Track 13 is this one:

Just looking at the sheet music, think "The PB's" "abc" transcription is more accurate .

Big J's Zap-O-Matic strikes again. Thankfully. What a mess.

Track 6
So, I think this is correct:
John Carty's - http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/853
The Stolen Reel - http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/743
Feeding the Birds - http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2779
One of my all-time favorite tracks.
