    Documentary which goes inside the secretive Traveller world - a world of long and bitter memories. Filmed over twelve years, the film chronicles a history of violent feuding between rival families, using remarkable access to document the bare-fist fights between the Quinn McDonaghs and the Joyce clans, who, though cousins, have clashed for generations. Vivid, violent and funny, the film explores the need for revenge and the pressure to fight for the honour of your family name.


    Looks interesting, anyone seen it yet?
    The storyville series is usually superb, im looking forward to this

    i bought this off some dvd seller ata boot sale last year, its quiet a good insight into the scene with some great footage of fights filmed down country lanes etc , i was amazed that these fihts were as much about gambling than about feuds

    Some of the travellers in it are borderline ******ed. It's pretty funny and also tragic. Well made documentary, the footage spans about 12 years.

    Yeah i'm in it, Laz was the stylist for the film.

    As you can see Laz chose the tanktop from Peacocks for this unfortunate fella.

    Billy Joe Saunders was talking about it a while back. How he had to stop himself going into it because everyone else was making good money. Not all feuds as you say. The participants make themselves some decent cheese.

    Is that the same Joyce family from Bermondsey by any chance?

    Elaborate! Joyce has the look (in his feint heavy left hand slung low gunslinger stance) of an old school nut, as well as looking ****ing massive and nails :lol:

    Joe Ward he won the Euros last year just 17 and is a two time world youth champion, he beat Kenny Egan this year at the Irish seniors for a second time and is still only 18 he should qualify for the Olympics and I fancy him to win if he performs to his ability .
