"Point taken Jim"
Thanks Raggy
One of the first (and best) songs we recorded from Travellers was one made by Wexford Traveller, 'Pop's' Johnny Connors - a statement of pride covering their abilities historically;
The first two verses are:

We are the Travelling people like the Picts and Beaker Folk,
The men in Whitehall think we're parasites, but 'Tinker' is the name.

All the jobs in the world we have done
From making Pharaoh's coffins, to building Birmingham

Heady stuff
Jim Carroll
