Timedance
Isn't this the tune that Planxty played on tv when the Eurovision song contest was held in Ireland?

Sure is. From the liner notes of The Seville Suite: "In 1981, RTE commissioned Donal Lunny and myself [i.e. Bill Whelan] to write a piece of music which would be used as the centrepiece for their presentation of Eurovision in that year. ‘Timedance’ was performed by Planxty and subsequently released as a single. This 1992 re-recording affords not only a pleasurable opportunity to reassemble most of those involved in the original, but also a chance to have a new look at the treatment - eleven years on. In the event, we decided to leave much as it was, but there is a new arrangement of ‘The Ballymun Regatta’."
