The Mudcat Cafe

The Mudcat Cafe is an online discussion group which covers some items relating to folk music. It's been about since October 1996.

The discussion group (the Forum) is divided into music-related and non-music-related topics. Please understand the non-music section only permits threads relating to Israel (these must be pro-positive)and good causes, the type of things us old hippies tend to favour, like Gay Rights, legalising drugs, banning Nuclear weapons and free love man. The music-related section hosts lively discussions on American folk music, British folk music and that of many other cultures, origins and lyrics of songs, and related information. (If your topic is not pro Israel, it will be deleted). Here also Mudcatters provide and maintain information on a large number of folk clubs, folk festivals, music sessions and dances around the world. We also boast the greatest collection of plastic Irish republican paddies found on the web.

Among other services provided by Mudcat is a Mudcat Songbook that presents MP3 recordings of songs that have been written by Mudcatters, some of the songs are hard to listen too, and please do not encourage members by asking them about their music, otherwise they will send you a CD or two of their woeful renderings !

Origin of the name: The original Blues forum, founded by Max Spiegel, was named for a Mississippi Delta region catfish. This region was the birthplace of the American Delta Blues style. The fish is locally known as a Mudcat. Hence, a good name for a Blues forum. The forum has changed recently with Joe Offend now leading the moderators into the battle against anything this old herd of has-beens don't agree with ! Their is also a fine collection of women who have saw their best years and now watch their bits head south.

Like I said... anyone who doesn't have a dirty, nasty, evil minded axe to grind can go see for themself.
