Subject: RE: Black people at folk clubs
We get plenty of blues in the mix, Graham. One of the best blues and jazz players I know is a regular here. We also regularly get songs in Yiddish, Marriot Edgar monologues, country music and reggae! I must say though that it must be a good 50% or so traditional English and American with 25% contemporary and the remainder comprising of all the others I mention. I am also in the process of trying to do a quarterly 'special' for the club with bands we would not normaly be able to get on due to pressure from our 'regular' guests. The first is, I hope, The Boat Band, if Greg gets in touch soon:-)

Cheers
