1. The O'Carolan air in the second clip caught my eye, so stopped in for a listen.

It begins about the 1:00 mark and is known as Si Bheag, Si Mhor; (Little Hill, Big Hill); Sheebeg, Sheemore or if in a friendly, crude or getting late and drunk session, sometimes just She Begs For More.

It is arguably one of the most recognizable of O'Carolan’s airs and is played about everywhere.

That Arthur Duff suite is gorgeous and now on my radar.

Thanks for posting these, sprink.
