Wish I'd been there, McGrath, but I'm short on holidays this year. :-/

And I guess that's the point. If you've come along for folk music and someone does bhangra (or Tuvan throat singing, or African gumboot dancing, or whatever), then you're there already so you might as well stay for it, and you may well find that you enjoy it. But it's unlikely to be something you'll make a conscious effort to go out and track down. Maybe you would afterwards if you really enjoyed it, but beforehand there's just no way.

Same for folk clubs. How much experience are people from black or Asian backgrounds likely to have of that? I'd bet that as far as they know, "folk" involves fat white blokes dressing up in ribbons and waving hankies - and that's if they've ever *heard* of folk music. In fact, never mind the "black or Asian background" bit - most *white* Brits don't know any more about folk than that either.
