Folks may come up with a few other examples, but I suspect that Pubs which are ITM based are going to also have Euro-centric musicians as a rule. When I think of a more ethnically mixed slate of performers, I'd think of local jazz or folk music venues without the Celtic identity.Cranberry wrote:I know this might not be politically correct to say, but when I look at pictures of the insides of pubs, my reaction is often "I've never seen so many white people in my life!"
Are there any prominent (or not so prominent) black or hispanic or Asian pub musicians?

You can scoot over to Bahrain...that's only 5 hours, if there's no traffic on the causeway.

Go look at http://www.hoilands.com/Seattle_tionol2006.htm. There is Melanie playing fiddle with Justine on whistle and Laura on banjo. Melanie is wonderful fiddle player. Then there's me holding the "piper" sign. And I know we all played in a pub Saturday nite/Sunday morning!Cranberry wrote:Are there any prominent (or not so prominent) black or hispanic or Asian pub musicians?

Well, it seems like Irish music tends to bring in white people as aCranberry wrote:Are there any prominent (or not so prominent) black or hispanic or Asian pub musicians?
majority, for whatever reason. If you go into a Blues bar, you might
see a large number of black folks, if you go into Chez Guevara to
see Tito Puente, then you're gonna have some Hispanic dining
companions.
Though, I was at the Tir na Nog session once, and this gentleman
of African (and presumably American) decent was there, holding
bongos. We invited him to join us, and he did, though he was just
waiting for his ride to a jazz gig. Turns out, he could follow quite
well, and it was a blast playing with a non-ITM percussionist. So,
there you go.

How can i put this?
The population growth in ireland at the minute is unbelievably exploding. Mandarin is the second most used language in ireland after english (gaelic is third!)
In ireland (if you ever make a visit) go to any county town fleadh (summer time) and witness the amount of oriental itm's.(irish trad musicians).
im not messing these buachailli would put the most hardened connemara concertina player to shame.
last summer at the wllie clancy week i had the pleasure of sharing a b&b with a group of chinese sean-os dancers.
i know i cool chinese flute player lad in ennis (ki).
a quick scan through http://www.thesession.org/sessions/display/1151
shows that there are lots of itm sessions throughout the globe and it is nideed NOT a predominantly white domain.
Listen to me young fellow, what need is there for fish to sing when i can roar and bellow?

This is a slightly blurry picture of the bar
And here's the owner (on the right) -- truly a great man!
We love playing there and just going there quite frequently.

I don't know if the link will work but here it is. The facade and much of the interior were salvaged from a pub in Ireland that was going out of business.
