Dickensian Christmas song from 'The Lamplighter' from 'mightyfrogfilms'
'crowd pleasing performance by Mister Tompkins the Rochester Lamplighter at the Victorian Dickens Christmas Festival, of his famous Pudding Song, aka 'I'm 'Aving a Bit Tonight'. Any innuendoes are entirely the product of the audience's smutty minds.'

A video I shot on the first day of the 2007 Christmas Festival. We 'wimped out' on the Sunday because of appalling weather, so the video is shorter than I intended, and the carol doesn't really fit the mood!
