They seem to have a BIG problem in the UK too. I watched the Billy Connolly program on TV last night as he toured Ireland - perhaps niaively believing there might be some Irish music in the background at least - but alas no! .... and what of our Royal Leader's jubilee celebrations at Buck House? She has pop bands, she has a steel band, she had Indian dancers booked .... Is there any celebration of English culture other than Posh Spice? .... I think not. Sometimes you just have to admit defeat and hope the media undergo a sea change.
