Irish folk tunes frequently have alternative names; just off the top of my head I can think of ten different names for the 4 tunes played here, eg, Dennis Murphy's is also known as John Ryan's, Armagh, The Hills of Connemara and The Forty-two pound cheque. What delights me is the clever and amusing intermingling of the tunes - it made me laugh out loud.
@TheCharja Each irish tune has got about 10 different names depending on where you're from. The Kerry Polka eg. is also known as 'Egans Polka', 'Peg Ryans' or 'Daly's'
The last polka is John Ryan's, not Denis Murphy's, and although I really do enjoy the sound of Tumbleweed, merging the Kerry Polka and Ryan's threw me off as a listener. Perhaps it has appeal to someone who does not play the two?
great! but I think that the last one is called john ryan's polka, instead of denis murphy's you have to include denis murphy's, too! greetings from uruguay

Now I would say the drummin is right on the money and this ensemble is as good as it gets !!
nice one, all talented young musicians. pleasure to listen too as always.
The polka called Denis Murphy's here I know as John Ryan's, but in sessions that I play in the piece that usually follows it is called Denis Murphy's.
Couldn`t get a bunch of rappers to get harmony like this
