The Mayday Hornpipe
This hornpipe was learnt off Teada's first album. "The Dog Big and Dog Little" is cited as the source, where it is recorded as Paddy McGurn's. It seems Paddy was a box player from Boho, Co. Fermanagh.

First of May
It could well\be a version of the first of may hornpipe with the c all sharp perhaps to suit a c#d box player....
