"Pavees were the central core of the survival of what we now call traditional Irish music"
Paddy Kennan in an interview by Zina Lee is talking about the various occupations that the Pavees (Irish Travelers) took on:
“’Then there was the musician, the traveling Bard, who would be commissioned to compose and perform at the house of the wealthy.’ (Even with what Fintan Vallely calls ‘an unforgivable handed-on racism, incomprehension of and intolerance with difference’ that marks the settled Irish’s dealings over the long years with the Pavees in their midst, the settled welcomed the Pavees’ news and their music—THE PAVEES WERE THE CENTRAL CORE OF THE SURVIVAL OF WHAT WE NOW CALL TRADITIONAL IRISH MUSIC Keenan’s family is a well-known example of this, along with the Cashes and the Dorans.)” - http://www.celticcafe.com/archive/Music/keenan/one.htm
Does anyone know of any other sources that explore the link between the Irish Travelers and traditional Irish music? Where can I read more about this?
