JACKSON'S ROWLY POWLY. AKA and see "Templehouse Jig (2) (The)." Irish, Jig. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The title refers to the 18th century Irish gentleman-composer Walker "Piper" Jackson, of the townland of Lisdaun, parish of Ballingarry, Aughrim, County Limerick. The tune was first printed as in O'Farrell's Pocket Companion for the Irish or Union Pipes (Vol. II, p. 101), c. 1811, as "Jackson's Rowly Powly," although it is much better known today as "Templehouse Jig (2) (The)." Breathnach (1996) also found it as "Apples in Winter" in Clare, "Kiltulla Jig" in Galway, and "Hare on the Mountain (The)" in Tipperary. Goodman printed versions as "Grey Goose (3) (The)" and "Dunkeild House."
