Um,
Hello.
Er.
Oh well, here goes. Let's see if this works.

Yes well, I'm single, male, and 39, and recently moved near the UK's south coast, near Portsmouth. And I'd be happy to find someone (female, my age or younger) for a bit of company. Concerts, dances, staying in with a video and a bottle of wine (crossed out and replaced with beer, we are talking folkies after all, but then replaced as I like wine as well and it wouldn't do to stereotype folkies as only beer drinkers. It wouldn't do to stereotype people who listen to folk/world music as folkies either, would it. I think I'd better stop before I offend everyone).

Seriously, when I go to folk events, whether concerts or morris or dance events I often feel like my age puts me half a generation out of step. There's those who started in the earlier revival, who are likely to be ten to fifteen years older than me, and there's their children, who are fifteen years younger. I can't be the only one in this middle range ? (Nearly wrote middle age, but that's not what I mean !)

Hmm,

Hopefully,
R.
