I don't have any "world" music on 78, though I'd certainly snap them up if I came across any. Particularly traditional Irish stuff.

Perhaps "snap" wasn't the best choice of words when talking about 78s!

yes traditional Irish 78s are a big interest to me,and Mento,
many older collectors told me in the 60s and 70s they would just toss out all the world music in the trash,almost brings a tear to the eye

I think I have some Scottish stuff lurking ( more mainstream than local interest ). And I acquired some British Yiddish records cheap once, (mostly sold them onto the USA).
