This is correct The tunes are definitely Tom Billy's, Ryan's Jig, The Sandman Reel, The Clogher Reel (which is apparently another name for The Flowers Of Redhill) from "Selected Jigs, Reels & Songs"
@deslm I'm pretty sure it isn't a competition. Why are RUclips comments always a dick-measuring contest among people who aren't even a part of the bands they are measuring? I just don't get it. I love both De Dannan (both the old Frankie Gavin + Alec Finn band and the two new Frankie Gavin minus Alec Finn bands) and Planxty. Both did wonders for the music, as did Bothy, and they are all kick-ass setups.
Going by the notes from outshore and paidushko , assuming they're both right, the tunes should be "Tom Billy's, Ryan's Jig, The Sandman Reel, The Clogher Reel (which is apparently another name for The Flowers Of Redhill)
@burkardheike Planxty couldn't touch DD on their worst day...except maybe when it comes to the songs. Instrumentally, I wouldn't mention them in the same breath. The Bothies would be a better comparison.

This is one of their best sets, taken from their best album - Selected jigs, reels & songs. Great music, played wonderfully.

@deslm Planxty's piping was slightly stronger.
No pipes here
Does anyone know which track they recorded with phil lynott?.
