Thread Name: Why Bluegrass musicians don't like folk
Subject: RE: Why Bluegrass musicians don't like folk
I'm trying to think of a bluegrass group in the UK that stayed together long enough to do lots of festivals and stuff like that - recently I mean - obviously we got the odd visit from Country Gazette and the like - but thats a hell of a long time ago.

Bluegrass clubs in the UK are terrible - only so often you can listen to Don't Let Your Deal Go Down. One night I heard it five times. What we need is some really young charismatic singers to embrace bluegrass, show us what it can do....

The late Thaddeus Kay and his brother George were that sort of country. Didn't see em billed in folk clubs too much.
