Cluain Ard (highland)
This is a highland learnt from Marcas O'Murchu's flute playing. The version is actually my own with a few alterations. The original version on the recording goes like this:

According to the notes, the tune is named after the high land at Cluain Ard in Belfast. Marcas's father seems to be the source.

Some people might think this tune sounds a bit similar to Last Night's Fun: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/63 But, anyway, this is a highland and played with a bit of swing, though not as heavily as a strathspey.
