Can anyone tell me what this tune is called and if it was written by someone (or if it's by Mr Trad)? http://www.verticalexpressioncontra.co.uk/em-jig-extract.mp3

Thanks!

Sounds like Brothers in York with some extra twiddly bits to me too.

I know it as Gallaghers Frolics

I agree with Frank Finn - Gallagher's Frolics, as played in the Irish dance music tradition.

Whether Gallagher's Frolics and Brothers in York are related tunes is another question. I can shed no light.
