Subject: RE: MAN FROM THE R.U.C.
As a serving RUC officer and traditional musician I am saddened to read of the entrenched views being aired on this forum. I am a catholic and play fiddle along with a few colleagues in a local session. The other muscians know what we work at, but this is left at the door when the instruments are brought out of the cases. We all get along well and enjoy the music together. Occasionally someone will play a few bars of 'Armoured Cars-' and follow it up with the 'Sash' all done with tounge firmly in cheek! There are other places for this sort of debate and music is sometimes linked to politics, but I liked Mudcat when it talked about music.
