The Green Flag
I learnt this from the playing of the Gallowglass Ceili Band, who called it "Wrap The Green Flag Around Me Boys", but I have posted it with its more common name. There are probably lyrics to the tune.

March
I 'm pretty sure that this is a march and not a barndance, see fx. http://www.irishtune.info/tune/765/

Not sure if that's the same tune though.

This is certainly a march
- called one of the "great martial airs" of Ireland. I learned it from the James Goodman collection in G, though.

Oops, I went off on holiday without saying it was a march. Sorry, everybody.
