Introduction:

"I’m sorry; it’s a lot of years ago since I sing it. My daddy used to sing it and we young, but you see, we got modernised; we don’t sing them now at all." Katey Dooley (Mikeen McCarthy’s & Peggy Delaney’s younger sister) talking about The Female Sailor, 1976.

Puck, Appleby, Cahirmee, Ballinasloe, Southall; wherever there are horse fairs you will find Travellers. However, when we first made contact with Irish Travellers in 1973, only one family we met had a pony and, when they moved into London from Langley in Buckinghamshire, that had to go. This was just one of the many changes in Traveller life-style

The Singers:
The circumstances in which we were working, in our spare time, in the evenings and at week-ends, and the transient nature of Travellers’ life styles, meant that the time we spent with individual singers varied considerably. It also meant that the amount of background information we were able to gain from them was sometimes minimal. Some we were able to record on only the one occasion, while with others we spent a greater length of time.
Bill Bryan, Gorey, Co Wexford.
Andy Cash, Co Wexford.
Mary Cash (neé Berry, Andy Cash’s sister-in-law), Co Wexford.
Bill Cassidy, (‘Pop’s’ Johnny’s brother-in-law), Co Wicklow.
