East of the Hebrides

Here is a tune composed by button-accordion virtuoso John Whelan, called East of the Hebrides.  This tune sounds best kept at a comfortable tempo, as it is a hornpipe. Here is the manuscript: East of the Hebrides

The Derry Hornpipe

I first learned this tune as a two part hornpipe, but recently discovered an old recording (from 1923) of this tune from the playing of James Morrison (fiddle) and Tom Ennis (pipes) and they played this tune as a 6 part hornpipe.  So here you go with the first two; learn it  and I will work out the rest of the tune for you.
