Watching old bbc series production of ‘lark rise to candleford’ at the end of series 1 episode 10 there 2 or 3 tunes played in a party scene right in the last 10 minutes of footage- wondering if anyone can identify/name them for me?

Here's a link to DailyMotion for anyone interest in trying. I don't recognize them, I'm afraid.

First one, while they are talking, before the dance section, is "The villagers". Not sure about the second one.

I think you will find it somewhere on folktune finder or the session. Probably from the James Nuttal manuscript from Rossendale.
