Maybe someone will be able to identify this tune as I heard it as the theme tune on an Irish TV programme called 'Hands' from several years back.

"Hot Ashpelt"
I don't think I know the actual name of the hornpipe, but it's the tune that's used for the song "The Hot Ashpelt" about Irish navvies.In 4/4 time, and in A mixolydian [?]mode, Scottish pipers call it "The Battle Of Waterloo". No idea which came first.

Bonaparte?
It sounds like it could be related to the Bonaparte tunes:
Bonaparte Crossing The Rhine

Bonaparte Crossing The Alps
http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/3056
I think they are related to The Battle Of Waterloo.
