The music and country dance directions were published by Playford in<br> The Second Part of the Dancing Master, 2nd edition (1698) through<br> the 18th edition of 1728. It was also published by the<br> John Walshes (father. and later, son) in their Compleat Country Dancing<br> Master, editions of 1718, 1735 and 1754. The melody was used in 1695<br> in the English composer Henry Purcell's "Abdelazar" suite, as incidental music. <br> Hole-in-the-Wall is a descriptive name for many pubs and taverns, <br> usually denoting small, perhaps cozy establishments set within a building row.<br> Sometimes the name is more literal: Dublin's Hole in the Wall Pub was named<br> after an establishment that served soldiers from a nearby barracks through a<br> hole in the wall. A famous Hole-in-the-Wall was in Kilkenny, behind High Street<br> and was from 1750–1850 one of Ireland's more renowned supper-houses,<br> patronized by the Duke of Wellington, Sir Jonah Barrington and Henry Grattan.<br> It was recorded on The English Country Dancing Master by The Telemann Society.<br>
