Subject: RE: P. Kennedy's Folksongs of Britain & Ireland
It is a Huge paperback book with 824 pages!...and Yes there is a the Final section in the book of Songs of The Traveling People - starts on Page 741. The introduction to this section has a mass of information including listings of Roma words and translations. Then songs 337 to 360 plus info. on each song listed.

I have heard some criticism of Kennedy's work, ie. some has been "stolen" from others and NOT credited, and he seldom if ever paid he informants, etc..

However, there is certainly a lot of information within this book...
