Duplicated
This looks like a screwed-up version of Josie Keegan's "Curlew" to me.

The first tune on Leahy's first album is listed on the CD (and on this site!) as "Jenny's Chicken", and it's here - http://thesession.org/tunes/display/756 - it's not thesame as this tune, and neither sounds to me very much like the version Donnell Leahy plays. Then again, it took me two months to figure out that the Glasgow reel that Leahy plays was the same as the Glasgow reel that I had been playing all that time, and that I had on two other CDs.
If this nameless tune is indeed the one on Leahy's first track, then the medley "B minor" appears to consist of this tune in B Dorian, followed by two versions of Tamlin/Glasgow - one in D minor, and one in A minor. (I think - I don't have my CD or my fiddle with me, so I'm not sure. But Donnell definitely plays Tamlin in two different keys, and you can't play it low in B minor.) Hmm...

It definitely is the Curlew reel:

B Minor(Leahy)
The medley of "B Minor" consists of three different tunes. The first one is the one that does not appear to have a name on the CD. The second is "Jenny's Chicken's". The third on is two different versions of "Tam Lynn".

Re: B Minor(Leahy)
Ah, here's the Curlew:
http://thesession.org/tunes/display/174
Key signature is given as B minor, and there are G sharps peppered liberally throughout the score; Jenny's Chicken is similar. (Aside, and something I've been wondering about for awhile - how does one figure out the modes in such cases? B minor and B dorian both seem to make some sense.)
Anyway, this is now bugging me: I love, love, love Leahy, but a set called "B Minor" should be unambiguously and entirely in B minor, dammit. I hope that the name of the tune isn't some lame joke in the spirit of "dont be flat, don't be sharp, just be natural" or whatnot.
