Beautiful song. Also this may be weird but some guy named Jake in 2016 introduced me to it and we lost touch. So if this comment happens to find him I’d love to chat again haha.
The Hardingfele has many tunings. The most widely used is ADAE (from the bottom string), which is often transposed much higher (BEBF# and CFCG are common). Caoimhin's fiddle is tuned AEAE and is transposed and sounds BF#BF# (this tuning is not uncommon in Norway). I've never heard Irish music played on a Hardingfele, but I think it sounds wonderful here.
Hardanger fiddles are NORWEGIAN. I've met Caoimhín, and he's very interested in a lot of Norwegian fiddle music, hence his getting a Hardanger fiddle for himself. He says that he likes to play it along with the whistle due to its very bright tone.
I believe it's a slip jig called "The Foxhunters." It might sound different than the versions you find because Mick is playing it on a flat set of pipes here (B, I think?). Good luck.
@DJFozter These guys are excellent ...tuneful , good intonation, imaginative without destroying the music, good use of ornaments , harmony ...and prepared to experiment somewhat.

Why do I have to switch my earbuds Left-to-right and right-to-left to hear a proper pan. Sound engineer fail. Otherwise: Magnificent!

That's one flat topped bridge Caoimhin is using on that beautiful Hardanger Fiddle!
Gorgeous Music!
Wow, that was fantastic. The name of the 2nd tune doesn't come up on the screen, but it's the Humours Of Derrycrossane.

Draoicht amach is amach. Like a hive of bees buzzing in tune. Magic.
Bb vs C any views on tone colouring / tune modes/ timbre / melodic contrasts? ....
fantastic playing by both mick and caoimhin
spent many saturdays being though music by mick's wife
Looks like a Hardanger fiddle. I think they are Swedish in origin.

Actually, its a Norse instrument, but you were pretty close.
