https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeBc2BsDUqA&feature=youtu.be Wonderful playing by Padraig. It’s the second time I hear the 2nd tune played.
Does anyone know what the names of the tunes are (especially the 2nd one would be welcome)? And is it somewhere on the internet to download and/or print?
Kind regards!
great playing of the fourth Dragoon, you can find it here

Was it not the correct Slow air Mr Gumby? I’m missing your reply! 
Wow. Someone new to add to my pantheon of regulator gods. Being all thumbs is a good thing. Who knew? 
The march on this video is not The Fourth Dragoon. I wish I knew what it was.
But Padraig McGovern’s rendition of The Fourth Dragoon on his CD with Peter Carberry is another opponens pollicis tour de force!
I listened to the midi file of the fourth dragoon and it does indeed seem to be another tune… Isn’t padraig somewhere
around here on the forums? we should ask him!!
I played the A part into TunePal and it’s not picking it up.
I had the same luck with TunePal. There is a recording of this air and march on SoundCloud. The air is labeled Cath Céim an Fhia, which appears to be correct, but the march is labeled The 4th Dragoon. I guess we gotta get Padraig himself to identify it.
Padraig kindly responded to my inquiry:
“The air is cath cheim an fhia. It is a song which commemorates a battle in co cork. Sean o se sings it. The march is called the fairy troop and was found in the Hugh o beirne collection from 1850s or thereabouts. I got it from fr John Quinn in gortletteragh.”

Fantastic!! Thank you so much for asking 
Glad we solved this riddle 
has anyone found the sheet music somewhere on the internet? I saw the abc notation, but not very familiar with using/reading that.
You’re not really supposed to read it per se. Plug the ABC (including the X: line) into the Concertina.net converter, and use the resulting dots.
Oh that’s great, thanks a bunch! didn’t know that program existed. thanks!
