The banjo approach on Donegal Express is very different from what Jem usually plays so I would say it's the beast playing on that one. I think you might be right on Aisling though.
And Lade, it doesn't say which songs they play in the sleeve!

When "The Snake" was released i actually wrote to Ingrid and asked which songs they played on. She didn't know but she said she'll forward the question to Shane if it was important to me. But i didn't write back.
Also The Pogues did play Donegal and i think Aisling was recorded for Hells Ditch.
