Liam listening to a traveller singing at Puck Fair
Taken at Puck Fair - in a Bar which doubles as a grocery shop - I took the photograph from the Bar side.
The woman on the left, who looks very anxious, is the owner and just minutes earlier she heard the traveller (the man in the middle of the photograph) light heartedly challenge Liam to a fight! Liam was unconcerned but the woman seemed to get more anxious.
Liam, who was a great champion of travellers causes, with his usual disarming charm, ended up having the traveller entertain us with a song.
Location: Kilorglin, Co. Kerry
