I'm not sure if I'm allowed to right about it in this section, but I saw that someone requested the Kilfenora Jig and I happen to have it in my collection/ folder thingey here at home. I'm not sure how to put it on the computer (if I'm even allowed to) So, just to let you know, I have it.
... I've just checked. There are three jigs called (among other names) 'The Kilfenora' in the tunes section, and one of the ones I was expecting is not among them - so let's not be too hasty.
There's a Scottish tune called the Chorus Jig that was apparently the ancestor of the big 5-part Kilfenora. I transcribed it in the comments section of another tune http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1521. It might be nice to have someone post it though, since it is really a separate tune.
The Old Favourite jig (BcB BAB|dBA G2B|d2d d...etc) is sometimes also called the Kilfenora jig. Mind you if a band has been around for nearly a hundred years, they're bound to have lots of tunes associated with them!
Kilfenora is a main theme of this year's Fleadh Nua so if you want to enjoy more of their music be in Kilfenora village on Sunday, 22 May when it all starts (sessions in every pub, etc). This is followed by a week of "ceol agus craic" in Ennis and a great concert with the Kilfenora Céilí Band and guests in the Glór Irish Music Centre on Saturday, 28th.

Re: The Kilfinora
Nice of you to offer, "Celt", but the "Kilfenora" jig has been in the tunes list here since 2002.

Re: The Kilfinora
There are at least two other jigs by that name, made popular by the Kilfenora Ceilidh Band, I think.

... I tell a lie. I've just checked again and it is there after all. But who's to say there isn't a fifth one?

Re: The Kilfinora
The request was "The Kilfinora Jig (aka The Chorus Jig)" if that's any clue.

Re: The Kilfinora
The Chorus Reel (from O'Neill's) is often found in other old books under the title "The Chorus Jig." Even though it's in 2/4. Good old nomenclature!

Re: The Kilfinora
The Chorus Reel, whilst not a jig, is related melodically to the Chorus Jig - as is The Glen Road to Carrick and countless other tunes.
