Thread Name: Black people at folk clubs
Subject: RE: Black people at folk clubs
...Personally I see this thread as yet another attempt by the Politically Correct brigade to convince us all that there is racism where there isn't any! You would never catch me listening to Rap music, Bhangra, Ska, Reggae or quite a few other musical genres done by coloured people, not because I don't like coloured people I just don't like their music, I personally find it all a God awful noise! And for similar reasons I suspect that is why you don't see many Black people in folk clubs, they have their own music for Christs sake and probably find the idea of nipping off to see a bunch of bearded freaks thumping around on banjos and accordeons playing didDley-diddley music all evening as off putting as I find listening to Bob Marley. THEY JUST DON'T LIKE OUR MUSIC! IT IS O.K. TO NOT LIKE CERTAIN THINGS YOU KNOW!
