Need help identifying some tunes

Post by Ostekjeks »

These videos are just great, and I've been watching them a lot. Today I decided to look up some of the tunes and start to learn them, but I don't know their names.

Please help me finding the tunes' names in the "05i1" file about 1:00, the "05h1" file at about 3:00 and hopefully all the tunes in "05ji". I've heard some of these before, so they have to be well-known. Could somebody please name them?

In 05h, I recognized the slip jig "Elizabeth (or Ennis - I've seen both names used) Kelly's Delight", followed by "Girl From the Big House", followed by "Hogan's" (aka "Helvic Head" ).

I know all the tunes by now, but there's one last inquiry:
The tune in the first 30 seconds in the "h" file. What is it called?
