I don't play these tunes myself, but I remembered these comments from a previous discussion of the clip:

1st is a version of Stranger at the Gate and 2nd is Rathlin Island

I play them both, close but not identical versions.
www.thesession.org will be helpful

Starnger at the Gate is one of Benedict's tunes.
Could the man be any more annoying?
