Hi
One of my favorites is Gary Roodman's "Oxford Hill Stomp" which goes well
with the tune "March of St Timothy. Another but rather more complex 3 x 3
Sicilian is "Double or Quits"

Aug the list as well if it’s of interest.
Some quick replies to Alan’s points.

Somewhat puzzled by parameters of the question. It's an arbitrary
distinction but I've only encountered "Pleasure Vest" in ECD dances here so
that's how I thought of it.
If the puzzlement is about genre then yes, you caught me. I’ve already
completely absorbed the UK’s lack of hard distinctions between contra and
ECD and this didn’t even occur to me. Having said that, there are “contra”
triplets (and other dances) without swings because Americans also used to
have more diversity in their contra dancing, as has been rehearsed on this
list and elsewhere many times. And I have no idea how Colin would feel
about it, but I have taught/called the Pleasure-Vest to tunes other than
the one he suggests because it’s a square contra tune and plenty of other
tunes work beautifully. Which is also a bit of a British attitude!
Also are you asking for both unclear on whenther
you're asking for both
threesome Sicilians and three couple set dances.
I thought I was clear by saying “and another question that came up,” but
yes, we are looking for both. Although 3-f-3 could be longways as well as
Sicilian.
Louise.
