    Default tune ID please?

    Can anyone please identify the tune beginning about 1:00 minute, and also the third tune, which begins about 2:30? Thanks801_0097 1.mp3

    The one at 2:30 is The Blarney Pilgrim.

    Thanks for that, Avi. No wonder it sounded so familiar -- I learned it on fiddle and have obviously since forgotten it!

    Your tune at around 1 minute is The Rakes of Kildare, I am pretty certain. A very regularly played tune in sessions and one we play a lot in Scotland.

    Thanks, John. The fella unofficially "leading" the session is a Scot himself, so you are most likely correct identifying the tune as The Rakes of Kildare. With a name (or often several different names for the same tune!), I can look into it more myself. Thanks for the help.

    The requested tunes seem to have been identified correctly - at least in my experience. But the OP didn't ask for help with the first tune. Perhaps because it's a bit fragmented? IMO, it's a lovely tune sometimes called Scattery Island

    There's a slide with the same title but that's a different tune:

    Thanks for this tune ID too. I just didn't want to appear greedy!

    I have a mystery tune running through my mind. I wrote it out in Tabledit as best as I could but the timing notation is most likely inaccurate. Does anyone recognize it? This is only the first of several parts.

    That's Banish Misfortune. As you say, the timing notation is wrong. It's a jig (6/8).
