Many thanks for thoughts and info folks, much appreciated.  Seems most convincing to say the pigs foot is being made in the forge, not a tool being used there, (not heated anyway.)

Fiddle tune names don't often make much sense, they're just a tag like a racehorse name, but this one's more obscure than most. Why did someone think, "I'll call that tune, 'Shove the pigs foot a little further in the fire.' !"

Cheers,

Tom

Hi Folks,

A fiddle player from southern England here, hoping for a bit of information from people who know.

There's a great fiddle tune called "Shove that pigs foot further in the fire" (or something like that.)

Played by some fine musicians here
