Sharon Shannon
This tune is on Track 16 of sharon Shannon's Spellbound Album. Sharon is on the fiddle and her sister is on the banjo. Lovely little tune I think. Does anybody know the tune they play after it?

No but her sisters name is Mary & she is a brilliant player!

The Woodchoppers
The tune they play after the Woodchoppers Reel is called (I think!) "Le Reel Des Voyageurs" which they got from the great French Canadian group La Bottine Souriante, and is to be found on their album "Chic and Swell" (one of their their best).Regards, Peter.

If you watch the Woodwright's Shop on PBS you have heard this tune.

Woodchoppers vs kildare's fancy
Although this tune sound a little like the theme of "the Woodwright's Shop" it actually isn't. The shows credits list the theme tune as Kildare's Fancy. Try them both and you can see the difference.
