Subject: RE: Brazil family in the news
This is just appalling! Can you imagine the political fallout if the headline in 'The Sun' had been
Black families hell for minister Tessa
or
Muslim families hell for minister Tessa

but because this is a really downtrodden underclass, they can somehow get away with it. What is the CRE's position on this?

What needs to be realised - by the folk music community as well as the public at large - is just how important The Brazil Family are to the folk culture of England. The recent triple CD release by Rod Stradling's Musical Traditions label of the Brazils is quite scintillating and the single most important release of traditional English singing this century.
