I got the opportunity to play a few stringy things on BBC 2 recently.
So here are the videos, to show that you really can can play these instruments at an Irish Session! 
Cheers,
Dick
Very nice work there!
Dulcimer looks like a Dusty Strings? I’ve got a chromatic by Bill Webster.
No, it’s a Rick Thum 17/17, with fabric laid over the sound holes & under the strings, to help me to see the strings & to quieten the beast! … very important, in the cozy corners of our wee Irish Pubs! 
Cheers
Dick
Great playing! Thanks for the links!
Dick, what are the names of the tunes in the first (Mandolin) set?
You posted underneath the video links to “The Boys of Sandy Row” and “An Buachaillín Bán”, but it does not seem these are the tunes you played.
I am learning by playing along.
PS: the jig seems to be this tune of same name (The Fairhaired Boy):

“bugle”? That’s not the name, no?
It is a nice tune in E Mixolydian, plays well on an A whistle.
Just like to know if it got a name.
yes, it is proper name. you could find transcription in gary hasting’s book : with fife and drum’ tune no. 19, on page 95.

Thanks! I found the tune now online called “The Bugle Hornpipe” as sample on the CD “Slán le Loch Eírne - Seamus Quinn & Gary Hastings” CD :
