  2. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    The Irish people of bygone times were very generous to the poor. If a beggar came to a house he was sure to get what he wanted. If he asked for a night's lodging he would get it without any trouble. Some of these people were musicians and they always carried pipes or a fiddle or some other musical instrument.
    The best known of these travelling folk in this locality was "Barry the Bones". He was called this name because he could play a tune on two bones.
