  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    There is a man who comes around these parts a couple of times during the year. People call him the “Old Bog Road” as a nick-name because he always sings the “Old Bog Road”. He takes bread and money as alms. He sings as a means of living and is welcome in many houses because he is a friendly man.
