Surely this rightly belongs to Hull?

No, I am afraid not. There was an earlier thread on this place, something about "Center of the UHnniverse" or some such.

I think we might have a bit more music here in Hull.

Cardiff?!? When my dad was in the RAF, part of their training involved bombing parts of North Wales, so we can't go there.They may remember it.

I'm a bit bothered about why these 'capitals of the universe' are all in the USA. It seems a bit chauvinistic to say the least. 'Folk Music Capital of the USA' I have no problem with. Or 'Old Time American Folk Music Capital of the Universe'. But there are other folk musics in the world largely unknown in Arkansas. And there may be a planet somewhere out there with little green dudes playing some amazing Arcturan Mega-fiddle stuff.

And another thing - how can you call your baseball games the 'World Series' if you won't let other countries join in? Don't you have advertising standards?

Too right Les! I think they are cheeky to call any of their music "folk" because the country has hardly been in existence for five minutes!
