KITTY OF OULART (Caitilin Ua Uball-Gort). AKA and see "Donnybrook Boy" "Friendly Jack," "Jackson's Frolic," "Mulberry Bush (The)." Irish, Slide or Double Jig (12/8 or 6/8 time). F Major (Cole): D Major (Goodman, O'Neill). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Cole, Goodman, Ryan, White): AABBCC (O'Neill). Oulart Hill, east County Wexford, is the site of a rebel victory over the hated North Cork Militia sent out from Wexford town to disperse them during the Rising of 1798. The town of Oulart lies nearby. Interestingly, the Wexford rebels spoke English, while the North Cork Militia was largely Irish Gaelic speaking. See note for "Annotation:Jackson's Frolic." The tune appears in the large mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork cleric and uilleann piper Canon biography:James Goodman as an untitled jig (vol. 3, p. 151).
