Kitty Of Oulart jig

An old Jig but a lovely jig that goes well on the pipes. A version can be found in O’Neils

Lovely, seems to be a distant cousin to the “Gander in the pratie Hole”

Thanks, JACKB for putting this one here. I’m always on the look out for good 48 bar jigs and this is a good one for putting into a set for dancing to.

There are even a few dances that fit 48 bars perfectly, and the other way around, and even Irish… 😉

Here is the way I play this good tune for some 20 years. I don’t remember from whom I learned it. The first part seems to be related to Jackson’s Trip To Aughrim (https://thesession.org/tunes/5118#setting5118).

This two-part setting is nearly identical to the Kerr’s version of “The Donnybrook Boy.” Chords are from
Rochester NY accordion player Rick Muir’s setting.

This tune is number 65, named Caitlín Ua Úllord, in Walton’s Ireland’s Best Session Tunes, ISBN No. 1 i5720 143 4

Úllord being an apple orchard, as are the alternate versions Úllghort or Úllaghort which give the village of Oulart, Co. Wexford its English name.
