I play and call for a Northumbrian band called Angels of the North (www.angelsofthenorth.org.uk though you will get our old website at the moment as we're busy arguing about the new one!) Most of Scottish Country dances are unsuitable for the sort of audiences we play though I think I will be able to use the Presidents Dilemma. I also love The One O'Clock Cannon and hope to use that as well. It works well as a hornpipe and as a reel and I can't work out which I prefer, do you have an opinion as composer? I can't make it work as a Rant, so it won't get northumbrianized too much!I have a querie about the chords: is the opening chord really A or is the first bar chorded D A? I also have a querie for general Scottish comment.. how do you make the RSCDS version of the fairy Dance go against the Gow tune with the Scott skinner variations. If you do it at reel speed to make the dancers trip lightly, the variations are impossible, if you play the variations at anything like a reasonable speed the dance seems to drag. We can get it work as a hornpipe but I don't think thats what were are supposed to do. If you know anyone who plays this dance to its original tune and who would be prepared to answer a few anoraky questions, it would be really helpful.
