Emily, I'm delighted you're thinking about what to play for chestnuts, since I love dancing them!
Now I'm curious how many people actually play Hull's Victory in F! (Although it's published in that key in NEFR, I've usually played it in D.)
Regarding Rory O'More: Rum & Onions (in NJ) has used a medley that includes Larry O'Gaff and something else and maybe Scarce o' Tatties. I could look it up when I have more time, unless someone else gets to it first.

As far as Ross’ Reel #4 goes, that’s not one that I’ve heard has a signature dance. On New England Chestnuts it opens for one of the Lady of the Lakes. So I’d say, go for it! My only thought is an F tune to an F tune might not be that dramatic of a change… ~Erik Hoffman From: Musicians [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Emily Addison via Musicians Sent: Monday, October 30, 2017 9:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Musicians] Another Chestnut tune question Hi All, One more question from me! This one about another Chestnut Dance... Hull's Victory. The first tune we plan to do is Hull's Victory which makes sense. :) :) However I'd like to do another tune after and Ross's Reel #4 sounds really good. ... ... my concern is I think this has been associated with another chestnut dance??? ??? Thoughts? And any tunes you traditionally associate with Hull's Victory (the dance)? Thanks! Emily
