I posted these to the Hangout tab archive back in 2011.
They both tend more to the melodic style rather than the Celtic three finger style as Tom describes it. But I think the melodies work.
In Donnybrook Fair, over time, I've started fingering it a bit differently. Whenever there are two "E" notes in a row, instead playing 2nd fret at 5 twice in a row (as in measure 3) I tend to play 1st string at 2 followed by 2nd at 5 (as in measure 12).

Gallagher's Frolics is the first fiddle tune I worked out because I needed to play it for my band and there was no tab arrangement available.
