Thread Name: Young Folkies Are Out There
Subject: RE: Young Folkies Are Out There
Daisy: I dont think I was good or confident when I was sixteen: i think the motivation ws that i liked what i heard and really wanted to part of it, because of that. What I certainly believe is there's not much point in blaming young people if they don't like what they hear in folk clubs. The only way blame can lie is with the folk clubs.
   Mick Jagger observed once, very significantly, that what started the Stones off were songs written by old men. But the old men were probably not the kind who sing in 2003 folk clubs!
