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…

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
