PS

"Ceili" - the end of your post suggests that you may be intending to post the other jigs in that set on the "Patrick Street" recording. I'd say there's a very strong possibility that they have already been posted here under their individual names.

@ Kenny

That is maybe right, but I have no clue about what their 'real' names are, so I'll give it a try......

Dear ceili this last tune is also in the data base and is called "The Night Cap"

http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/5483

and the last tune is "Up Leitrim"

http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/3257

I should point out that Patrick Street seem to play "The Night Cap" with the parts reversed. I don't know if McKenna played it in that way.
