Hi Bev,

It is Aughrim. There are three Aughrims in Ireland, (one in each of Counties Clare, Galway and Wexford.)

The one you're looking for is the on is in County Galway.

According to my book....

"The small village takes its name from a battle fought on a nearby ridge in 1691. Protestant Williamite forces defeated mainly Catholic Irish and Frenchforces, determining the future course of Irish history."

Don't know about the other tune. Have you actually got the tunes or do you need the music?

Slainte
