Now I await my judgement.
I've recently been corresponding with Jeffrey Green (http://www.jeffreygreen.co.uk/), a British historian who has studied black music in Europe, and written several articles on The Jenkins band which I used in my dissertation, as well as a biography of Edmund Thornton Jenkins. His insight has come too late for use in the above work, but he has been very encouraging and complimentary!
His website is fascinating and contains photographs and research he has compounded over the years, it is well worth a visit. I used some of his information on the Jenkins bands in my dissertation.
In other news I am currently less than two weeks away from finishing my degree, and trying to decide between Sheffield, Newcastle, and Northumbria University's to undertake a Masters in History. If anyone has any advice please get in touch, this decision is proving tough!
