		<description><![CDATA[This poem captures a time of innocence when any out-of-town visit was seen as an exciting and colourful experience.  Sigerson's own notes on this reads - Bazaar: a travelling, open-air show. The talkies killed most of them unfortunately. Clawhammer: old-fashioned coat with tails to it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ballad of the Tinker's Daughter was written by Sigerson Clifford, born in Cork of Kerry parents in 1913, died in 1985. Tim Dennehy put it to music in 1986 and recorded it on his tape 'A Thimbleful of Song'. There are 11 verses to this poem and whilst it's possible to see how this inspired Mickey MacConnell to write 'The Tinkerman's Daughter', it tells a more complex story.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sigerson Clifford was an Irish poet and playwright. I took a line from his poem The Boys of Barr Na Sraide, the line that goes "And when the hills were bleeding and rifles were aflame...", to use it as the title for my book "The Bleeding Hills". The research for my also revealed that there is not a lot of information available that would describe the person Sigerson Clifford in more detail, and that is the reason I created a web site in the hope that people all over the world find it and possibly add more data.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I first heard the song The Boys of Barr Na Sraide in Ireland on the small isle of Inishbofin off the coast of Galway. My wife's grandmother was born here and she immigrated to the United States in the early 1920s. We had visitied cousins of my wife's, Paddy Joe and Regina King. Their son, Peadar (the Irish version of Peter), had shown me a CD by Colm O'Donnell, Farewell to Evening Dances, which he was very fond of and I share that feeling now.]]></description>
