Hey,

"Scotland: don't forget Billy Mahonie and Mogwai"

I actually don't know who Billy Mahonie is. Sorry! Could you tell me more?

I would consider Mogwai but it would be a tough choice. They really belong in the post-rock category and I try not to co-opt other genres TOO much, even though I enjoy listening to them. I do sometimes tho...

"I'd take Scotland, Ireland, and England seperately. I mean, when you look at England, there's some big names - Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, shoot, you could do a whole year on England and one on the USA! It'd probably not be worth it though...."

England would require a lengthy series like France, Italy, etc., as you mention. I'd be willing to do it, and play obscure stuff like Marsupilami, East of Eden and Comus alongside Gentle Giant and Crim.

Regards,
Sean
