Dear Mykaell,
Many thanks for forwarding information about the BMET, NCBMR and University
of Westminster black music projects to the listserve of the Black and Asian
Studies Association. Although the posting was marked for my attention I am
sure that many of the other list members involved in the education and
information sectors will be interested in this initiative. As requested I
will endeavour to pass on the details about your work to other
contacts/colleagues who may wish to offer support - particularly with regard
to providing research information on the 'untold story' of black
contributions to popular music culture since the 17th century.
Kind regards
Carol Dixon
P.S. I recently put forward the name of the black musician/composer Joseph
Emidy (n.d. - 1835) as a potential recipient of an English Heritage blue
plaque. The only research that I am aware of about his life as a violinist
during the early 19th century was that carried out by Andy Shepard (+ a
short article I recently read about Emidy in BBC History Magazine, written
by Lola Young) but, to-date, no-one seems to have uncovered full details
about Emidy's main place(s) of residence in Cornwall. Perhaps your research
work, and the forthcoming NCBMR online database, could address this and fill
in other 'gaps' within Britain's early black music history.
