Subject: RE: Banda Celtamericana in UK
Oh dear. Chronic literacy deficit still rife out there in Much-Whining-By-The-Slurry-Pit. A musician from the band in question is perfectly aware of the importance of his music reflecting a sense of place and being rooted in his own community. Not so among certain swathes of unaware English punters who regard noise at their 'f*lk club' as a soundtrack to getting pissed and harassing women. It's why they tolerate, even enjoy, globalised McMusak and dumbed down, plasticised Oirish shit. If Banda Celtamericana is unfortunate enough to encounter persons of such meagre intellect and musical appreciation on their current tour, they should be aware that the English as a nation have scant regard for their own cultural heritage and use this lack as an excuse for disregarding the importance of that of anyone else. It's when they attempt to inflict their 'good-enough-for-f*lk' mantra on those concerned with musical excellence that their obnoxiouness gets tedious.
