Pretty much pure-bred Berkshire English - both parents from country families which didn't move around much. (Though there is a rumour of some 'noble' blood via a serving maid...) In contrast to the very conservative bloodline, I like pretty much any traditional music of whatever ethnic persuasion. My husband has German, Welsh, Romany & English blood in varying quantities - and has much the same musical taste.

- but it would be nice to think that the music we feel most 'connected to' touches some sort of ancestral race memory. So - Although I suspect that the grandfather who was 'found on the doorstep' was actually of very local origin, perhaps I'll choose to believe him an exotic & diverse mix (after all, my mum does have very high cheekbones for a Batts Green girl..)
