It's a selection of songs and stories from South Armagh, recorded by Peter Kennedy and Seán O'Boyle in 1952 in Cullyhanna which lies in between Newtownhamilton and Crossmaglen. The three singers/raconteurs are Nicholas Hughes, Francis 'The Wings' Campbell and Peter Reilly.

Here's one for the weekend - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zntmmimy4yz. The file is not password-protected.

There's a track listing here - http://folktrax-archive.org/menus/cassprogs/165armagh.htm - but it doesn't exactly follow the version I've uploaded.
If anyone's interested, I've three further files of Traveller songs which I could upload.

OK, I'll upload them.
My use of 'further' in the OP is misleading. 'The Boys of Mullaghbawn' does not feature Traveller singers, but the three files I'll upload do.

Indeed, mighty stuff, thanks Mr. Tethers.
Whoa, the words on St Peter's Day are unusually rugged, aren't they. It always sends a bit of a chill down the spine.

But I meant to add, isn't it a grand tune, especially ad-libitum as a free-form song.
