Help identifying a jig in YouTube video (Chris McMullan)

Post by smish »

Hi,

there's a beautiful duet between Chris McMullan & Colm McCarthy here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzjibvTb-aI

I was hoping to learn the songs in this video, but since it's recorded on an Eb whistle, it's tricky to learn by ear with only a D whistle.

The second half (~2:00 onwards) sounds like "The Old Favorite" (as the name of the video implies), but I was hoping to identify the first song, to help locate some sheet music for it.

Thanks
