Theres heaps of us up here in Scotland anyway! Hands up for Trad are doing alot with us younger folkies - they organise the Young Trad Musician of the Year competition, just incase anyones interested the semi-finals are in Biggar this year in October. There are 12 semi finalists and from these 6 are chosen to go thru to the final which is held at Celtic Connections. Its great craic. I used to think i was in the minority (18, love folk music) but after going to alot more festivals up around here ive realised theres soooo many more folk like me and its fantastic!! Hands up for Trad website is www.handsupfortrad.co.uk (sorry dunno how to do a blicky!)
