There is many Pavee who believe that we are the indigenous people of Ireland...Our history is not known outside of our people and even then only to a small amount within..Murphy's village came about by those Travellers who left with a priest called Father Murphy and when he died they built a settlement there...There are of course women singers and any Travelling event or meeting usually ends up with a sing song...of old and new songs...at a Traveller event in Galway in 2005 i sang song i wrote called "town of my birth" and last year my cousin in new jersey sang it to me over the phone and asked if id ever heard it before...it took 5 years to cross the water...I also wrote a song about the famine but from a Travellers eye view..called the 'country girl' which is what we call female who are not Travellers..i sang it in Canterbury but to date havent got around to doing anything more with it or many others...
