I posted a C# minor one here a while back, you might give that a try
in front of it if you want to keep the key signature...

(There aren't going to be a lot of C# major jigs to do the Cape

Stool of Repentance?
I know somebody who starts a jig set with Calliope House and ends
with Jig of Slurs, and I *think* Stool of Repentance is what he
puts in the middle. I'll let you know when I hear him do it again.
Grey Larsen's "Thunderhead" (B minor into D) might be a possibility.
