Hey, it's my thread. I started it. I believe it is about the difference in the US and UK approach to music and their respective music scenes, so, please carry on.

I am always pleased when threads that I start get over 100 posts.

At the risk of Burke taking offense, let me take this opportunity to thank Strollin' Johnny and McGrath of Harlow for responding to my sincere request to find out information about Black Britons in general and about the contributions of people of African descent to traditional British folk music.

And thank you also, Martin Gibson for starting this thread and giving me the opportunity to ask these questions.

Although this topic may be of little interest to most on this forum, the fact that I received such informative responses to my questions reaffirms my decision to spend time on Mudcat.

I like Texas

The entire whole coast to coast of Texas and that piece of scrap iron to the north tossed in.

Sincerely,

Try the Y theatre in Leicester they do loads of multi cultural events with folk music from our ethnic community(as well as the home variety). that is Asian west indian and whoever the leicester mob are masquerading as this week.

I think they are a bit more pro musician minded than many Brits. Like Asian films - there is a big home market for Asian music.

Hope this is some help.

Azizi, Why should I be offended? It's not my topic that's buried. While you've gotten a couple of replies your topic is kind of lost in the rest of the discussion. The reason we have Subject lines & threads is to make it easier to follow the discussions we're interested in. I was only trying to be helpful in trying to suggest that if you start a new thread you might discover there is more interest in your topic than you think. You also could find responses to your without wading though the other material.
