I am well familiar enough with "A Merry Christmas" and "Thhe Frost is all Over", but I dont know the middle tune "A Christmas Jig". Does it go by any other name? I notice it is not in the Tunes list here, nor any other place I look. Thanks.
Who are the musicians in the OP video - the concertina player looks a bit like Michael O'Raghallaigh, but I've only seen him once or twice, so could be anybody I guess?

Re: A Christmas Jig
Sounds like this one, although I'm not sure where Christmas comes in to it:

For God's sake, Jim, can you not just STOP putting those bloody apostrophes in? Tape up the key or something ...

Re: A Christmas Jig
Ofcourse the tune was only referred to as 'Christmas Eve' because it was aired , nameless, on the wireless, on christmas eve.
