We have an amazing statement from Wexford Traveller 'Pop's' Johnny Connors on the same ballad, which he refers to as 'Cain and Abel', and equates with the biblical story.
He then goes on to say that he believes that the casting out of Cain is the origin of Travellers first taking to the road.
We've included it in our selection on Friday - please try to watch it, I'd very much value your feed-back - or anybody's
