I posted this reply yesterday, but it seems it has got lost somewhere on
the web. It'll probably pop up sonner or later, but just in case:

That'll be the Ceili House Band's tune collection. Don't worry. It's all
duplicated at the band's main site:
http://members.aol.com/boynehunt/themusic.html
One document - http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/9618/winder.html - with
144 tunes is missing, though. Maybe I should post the tunes at Musica
Viva. Does anybody know anything about copyright laws for that kind of things?

That site belonged to someone named Mark Fitzsimons, and contained music
in Celtic style composed by the webmaster.
He is also supposed to have a home page at
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~markf/
but that's only an empty directory at the moment.
A Google search for Mark Fitzsimons comes up with 96 hits, so I suppose
it shouldn't be too hard to track him down.
