Someone on the Session.org site says the first tune is the Banks Hornpipe and also shows a link to the tune notation.

Although Skinner recorded “The Banks” and included it in one of his tune collections, he did not compose the piece. It is attributed to Parazotti in some sources, and to Ostinelli in Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883) where it appears as “Souvenir de Venice.”
Lovely playing all the same. I only wish I could play that tune…

Excellent playing. If I may: correction on the name of the second tune - The Devil’s Delight. It’s a reel composed by Dan R. MacDonald in Cape Breton. E flat to A major to B flat, you would have to be on your toes if your doing accompaniment on these. Good job.
Can’t say I’m surprised that she’s an All-Ireland champion! The last tune if President Garfield’s which is also played as a hornpipe.
