Exile's jig
the first tune i learned on the tin whistle some years ago.. off an Alan Stivell record.(renaissance of the celtic harp) . It can be heard also on the Sweeney's Men's record. The Sweeney's Men were Andy Irvine, Johny Moynihan and G Woods (unfortunately it was the only instrumental track on the record).

The Exile's Jig
I was looking for a slip jig to end a group of three. This does the job very well. Nice one.

The Emigrant's
I learnt this as the Emigrant's Jig, and with the two halves of each part kind of swapped the other way round and the whole thing played as a 32 bar tune:
T: The Emigrant's
K: Emin

This tune is clearly related to "My Mind Will Never Be Aisy"/"Cucanandy"/"The Whistling Thief"...whatever you want to call it, the only difference being that setting has fancy bits that go up to high A. I would guess that the double length version has been less-recorded and would therefore be less common in sessions. Links to the other versions are below:
