I made a modest suggestion that it might be nice to invite Zimbabwean friends down to the pub singsong or folk club. A capella African sits very attractively and pleasantly alongside Coppers harmony songs. I am surprised(well I'm not really) that this simple suggestion has been turned into "multi cultural compulsion" by another poster. I appreciate that there are about three posters on this thread who view the idea of a black singer visiting a folk club with hostility, but I am very pleased that the vast majoriy of folkies here in Britain would be absolutely delighted by a such a visit, and would be very welcoming. On that basis I will continue to arrange such visits, which luckily have so far led to very nice social occasions. AS far as I am concerned, a folk club is a folk club. If people want to run a white folk club, let them put that on the poster.
