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.
