In our final #FolkFriday post, we present Scottish Traveller singer Jeannie Robertson, who performs the traditional folk song ‘Never wed a’ old man’. Travellers have been among the main folk song carriers of Britain and Ireland – without Traveller culture, the landscape of British and Irish folk music would be much poorer. We hope you've enjoyed our #FolkFriday series! 📼C604/675 C4, ‘Never wed a’ old man’, sung by Jeannie Robertson, 1953, London 📷Jeannie Robertson © Peter Kennedy | British Lib
