Thanx alot for your help! I've been told that i have a very natural voice which suits folk songs very well! Thats a good start b coz i love to sing them! i go to loads of folk festivals arounf the north-east of Scotland and i usually sing at pub sessions, but i'm not allowed to drink!! I have quite a bit of experience in singing in front of large audiences. I have a "normal" range for my age but i prefer to sing lower songs if you get what i mean! i'm always looking for songs and i've also recently taken up the guitar so if you know any chords for them please tell me! I'm a sort of person who likes the tune of the songs rather than the words although i would'nt sing something which i loved the tune to but hated the words! (did that make sense?) I know the barnyards o' delgaty because The acutal barnyards of Delgaty are about 20 something miles from where i live! Anyhoo, i'd better go now and thanx again for your help guys!
