Re: Music of the travellers
I don't know anything about any sheet music but if it's the music of the travellers your wanting to learn get a copy of The Raineys http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display/2422 ; and Travellers and fellow Travellers - Keepers of the flame
http://www.mustrad.org.uk/reviews/travelrs.htm
I think you can still get them here http://www.paveepoint.ie/publications-culture.html for €20 each. Well worth the price.
