Thread Name: English Culture - What is it?
Subject: RE: English Culture - What is it?
One might as well say the Watersons aren't representative of English culture because of their Romany-Irish heritage. They'd tell you where to stick that idea!.[quote]
Martin is of Irish descent,not sure about John Harrison or the Watersons,they may or may not be of traveller descent,but not all travellers are of irish descent.
I have traveller ancestry too,[and they were fiddlers]but I am not sure they were Irish[tracing itinerants is much more difficult than tracing middle class burghers] .
