I know Top it Off is already posted (http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2608), but the version Martin Hayes plays is sufficiently different that you have to work at it to see them as the same tune. Note the A part only gets a single airing.

Cahill
Thanks for posting this. I think Cahill's slow waltzing guitar against the slow jig really gives the tune much more depth and beauty than it otherwise would have. What a combo.
