but I can't think of one regular-set-up band (ie guitars, drums, vocals) with all black musicians
The UK has produced quite a few reggae bands.
I have a sneaking suspicion that there are probably more successful multi-racial bands in the UK than there are in for unstance the US - the Specials, The Beat, The Selecter, Simple Minds, The Libertines, UB40 spring to mind

Neneh Cherry, who has a couple of mentions here, was born in Stockholm to a Swedish mother and Sierra Leonean father.
Until a few years ago I always thought she was American (!)

That's a hard one 'cause there are a few but I am not sure if they are British or European. Two that come to mind are Seal and my favourite, Skin (Skunk Anansie).
