No argument about what a rich tradition folk music enjoys around the world, McG, and whether or not they have a place here. But so far I've seen no threads on "The Sumatran Folk Tradition", while there have been about twenty on Whiskey in the Jar. Now I would think many of us might be interested in Sumatran Folk music, but at present there seems to be a dearth of Sumatrans and a plentitude of Caledonians. Mudcat is certainly inclusive of almost any tradition. Its the willing participants that are lacking.

BTW, no insult intended by including Ireland in the category British Music. I was thinking of the British Isles.
