your points go up Hog, Arabic Music is very beautiful & sensual especially somebody like Natacha Atlas, who uses the traditions in a modern idiom

do you know of the master oud player from southern Sudan, Abdul Gadir Salim who once graced the stage of The Lemon Tree?

I'm pretty sure Pete McConville of the Jinx has an oud (it was the one which was briefly in Cash Converters).

Just getting into Arabic music and it has open my eyes. The singing in particular impresses me.

I will have a look out for Abdul Gadir Salim's stuff, Oud's rawk

There's a video floating around of David Lindley playing the oud with the Blind Boys of Alabama. Pretty unreal stuff.
