- Francie Byrne and Peter Carr playing "Dinky Dorian's Reel." From the RTE video Come West along the Road.
- James Byrne, bowing vigorously as usual here, playing "McCahill's Reels," two well-known Donegal reels, along with some other fiddlers, and encouraged by some enthusiastic (and probably drunk) "punters" (pub patrons).
- Canúintí Ceoil begins with James Byrne and a rare and brief, but very nice, snippet John Doherty (playing "The Black Mare of Fanad"). From TG4.
- Jimmy Campbell, playing the common Scottish reel on a bus for some sheep (it seems)--probably did not know he was being recorded, but does a fine job anyway.
- Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh giving a Donegal treatment to the well-known reel "The Foxhunter's."
- Ciaran O Maonaigh (Ciaran Mooney) playing one version of "The King of the Pipers."
- Tommy Peoples playing two strathspeys, "The Laird of Drumblair" and "William Marshall's." From the RTE video Come West along the Road.
