......This Gent can play and makes mean Pipes too....his workmanship is downright tickedy boo....if you ever see him on the road, he does like hot chocolate and marshmallows!
at the end of the day this man is an inspiration to us all gypsy and gorgo alike to return back to the land and away from the technocratic mess. living free! more people needs to get back to traditional life! non of us can truly say we are romany( in the romany spirit of things!) untill we do!
In the old days there were also many people on the roads travelling with wagons; hawkers etc; who were not Romani but would have been considered Gypsys by the authorities.
two years ago you interviewed me at the Green Gathering. I am dismayed that you have described me as a Gypsy and have spelt my name incorrectly. Correct spelling- Michael! I would like you to remove the word Gypsy and spell my name correctly.
Describing me as a Gypsy is inaccurate and irritating to people who are Romani.
Hi Michael, Lost your contact details.. I have made changes to the description which I hope will clarify your cultural position. Sad that Gypsy's have become so judgemental about Nu Age Travellers when they have already been discriminated against so badly, we are all part of the same lifestyle. Please dont hesitate to contact me if you have any suggestions. Sorry about the spelling mistake.. Fil
i am romani blood, never lives the romani life on the roads but my family are wild and very free. i grew up with that. i dont have any history. only old photos and rumours and stories. but i class my self every inch romani having a little gorgo blodd here and there. but what is a true romani. i beleive you are what you think or say you are.
How many Nu Age Travelers have had their family go up in Hitler's smoke stacks, have had their ancestors enslaved in Romania, are having their people slaughtered in Europe today? How many are turned down for jobs, turned down for housing, have the cops favor criminals who harm them over them (the victim), their property vandalized, and more just because of their ethnicity?
Anyone can learn to speak in a certain way by listening. My middle-class accent was ACQUIRED and I agree it has helped me when dealing with authorities. Maybe my detractor could learn from this.
I never described myself as a Gypsy. For the record, I do not take drugs and drink little alcohol. I do travel 1500-2000 miles a year by horse, earning my living selling and training horses, collecting scrap, making pegs, flowers and items out of copper and tin. It is not a romantic lifestyle and can be hard. At times I do get racially abused and assaulted, but I still enjoy the life.
Id all so like to add you all cry Gorgio(correct speeling)Meaning...A person who lives in a house how many Gypsys NOW live in houses are thay now Gorgio's to ??? New moden meaning of a Gypsy is ...Some one who has lived a Nomadic life style for TWO or more years. Allso a lot of travlers have inter breed thining the blood so at what point do you STOP being a Romany then half/quater blood ??? how do u know that mans Gran wasnt a true Romany ?? YOU DONT is the answear
Hay yes its true he is NOT a Romani he is a Hippy but at least he is doing it half the gypsies live on a soding site never leave it and are travlers by name and thats it. And half them ant Romani there pikies, posh rats etc etc etc. To call him a air head junkie and a bucket of shit is so unfair YOU DONT KNOW THE MAN its plain ignarant> Even tho not romani I can speak on this having lived horse drawn for 20 years with REAl romanies like Less Elliot, & people like Pat & chic Knox etc etc GROW UP
the problem i have with this type of person is that they are posing as something they plainly are not, the immediate thing that i noticed was his accent and so would anyone else, in england in my experience your accent can make a lot of difference in how you are treated by the authorities, somebody like this turning up somewhere would be treated differently because he would be taken as a novelty whereas a true Romani would be taken completely differently
i agree. this is a bit middle class. but a romani ( seen as not even working class but an underlcass by society- in the same league as prostutes and beggars)would be treated different. we could change this by being ourselves. i think this man has some part in it too. even if people are not romani everyone should have the right to live how they choose. i want to see more travelers romani or not living a traditional life.
He is living a romanticized version of "Gypsy" life. He does not have the history and, I am certain, does not face the racism that a REAL Romani faces.
some real romanis have lost their history, like myself, i have romany blodd on my mother and fathers side but we dont have anything only old phots from about 90 years ago! that doesnt make me a romantic. does it? i just hope more people return to living atraditional life that way it may change the tide and people can get used to us on the road and living the way that is natural to us.
In America, where I am from, we are legislated out of the traditional lifestyle. The anti-Gypsy laws are null and void as of the early 2000's due to the status crime statutes which rendered them thus but that does not change the laws against lifestyle that does not include the word "Gypsy."
He is not the Rom realy i can say who is rom who is not why he doing that i cant understent we roma never ever aloud woman to ride on horse thats not poseble no no no no....

Gadje, not Romani.

Why is this man described as a 'horse drawn Gypsy'? he's not a Romany Gypsy......these are 'new age' travellers. A world apart.
