The 1st jig is often included in a set called "The Lark in Morning set" associated with the box player Joe Cooley. I've seen it called The Lark in Morning, The Morning Lark and a few other names but I've never heard it called The Hardiman' Fancy (which is the name of another popular jig). The other two jigs in "The Lark in the Morning Set" are "Cooley's Jig" (aka The Bohola jig) and the jig most of us think of as "The Lark In the Morning".
@kerrysupporter Thank you for reply. The late Michael (M ickey)Reilly from Longford/ Leitrim whom I knew, did play this tune on fiddle under that name and I was wondering what it is now called. You can get the notes for it in O'Neills Music of Ireland (1850) number 897.
Thanks very much for posting this terrific clip. Do you have any info about it? Also, does anyone know what tuning Charlie Harris plays? cheers, Martin

The first tune is called “The Morning Lark” - not “the lark in the morning”- great playing.
Music with soul magic

Great sense of timing, and melody.
You said it
Martin,
Charlie plays mainly D/D#, like Joe Cooley, though also C#/D (for "concert pitch").
That's John Faulkner on bouzouki.

He is a great player,box expert and nice guy. I heard him talk at Willy Clancy Summer school.

Great tune set!!! The 'Cooley's Lark is a keeper. Martin and Damian Connolly do a great duo on this first tune.
@kerrysupporter Lovely tunes indeed . Is the first one The House in the Glen...any views/ info
Great music Charlie
Eileen Nestor do you know him personally
Hey, seems to be the same box as Jackie Daly's Mr. O' Connor,
both legends!
You're so right.
