The most interesting thing about you, proud Kurdish Refugee, is that you chose Mudcat as a place to discuss Kurdish music? It is a great place to discuss it, and I am glad you have come here, as we are all very interested in folk music.
   Today I spent the day with Kurdish and other musicians in Stoke; we had a refugee event, to show the new Kurdish film "Turtles can fly", and to eat and listen to music. We all had a great time. it would have been interesting to hear what you thought of the Kurdish muscians.
   One of the musicians there, Kamran, was playing violin in the Kurdish Baq Band, but he also plays cello in the North Staffordshire Symphony Orchestra. Now, they certainly dont play Kurdish music!
