Great stuff, thaks for posting that.
Nice to hear Mr Irvine later in the program, too.
At about 1:06ish, he names the jigs -
I cannot make out the name of the first, sounds like Top Of something.
Help??

Thank you, ciaran.
Great tune, but one where (blush blush) I have long played it but not known the title.
Inexcusable, I know.

Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell
Where fishermen go, if they don't go to hell.
Not the same place?
