What key do they have it in Geoff?

Having just checked, I was mistaken, there are around 7 by Rankine but this is not amongst them. As I have attributed it to hime in my pad (we also play it in G), I suspect I heard Take The Floor (my other source of good tunes) attribute it to him and they are the experts on Scottish dance tunes.

Hogmanny Jig
I believe this is a Freeland Barbour tune.
Of course, its a quickstep rather than a jig
The Angels of the North play it with Lemonville Jig (another quickstep popularised by Willy Atkinson) and with the Corner House by Charlie Sherrit.

Rankine or Barbour?
It seems in several sources, recordings and elswhere, it is attributed to an Andrew Rankine... ? Also, while I agree it has that quickstep sound about it, minus that many old quicksteps can be 64 bars in length, it is called "Hogmanay Jig" in those sources as well. There not being a 'quickstep' section here, a 6/8 (12/8) tune like this has to go somewhere, and since I kept finding it being called a 'jig', well, I put it here... I'd love to know more though, history and some confirmation of origin. I am not familiar with either Rankine or Barbour... As a 32 bar tune, it works really well for other things than just quickstepping...

What key do you play it in Noel?

Hogmanay Jig
Hi 'c'. This is one of the first jigs I ever learnt. I was taught it when I was at school. We always played it in D, and we followed it either with a nice, low, growly fiddle setting of Major Mackay, or (strangely enough like Noel..) Charlie Sherritt's Corner House Jig. After Corner House we'd go into Stool Of Repentance in A. I still have the sheetmusic for these, but unfortunately I left them with my dad who is currently thousands of miles away. I do remember the setting we used to play though. It went something like this, give or take a note here and there:
X: 1
T: Hogmanay, The
M: 6/8
L: 1/8
R: jig
K: Dmaj
