Thread Name: BS: Thirty-something folkies (???)
Subject: RE: BS: Thirty-something folkies (???)
Well I'm 36 but I wouldn't call myself a folkie. I listen to some folk music, and go to the occasional festival, usually Cambridge, but I don't go to clubs. I suppose my musical interests are wider than just traditional music, and so I don't go with the label.

I have found that as I've got a little older I have a greater interest in acoustic music and well written songs.

Thinking about it I don't think any of my friends would consider themselves folkies although they will listen to the music.

Perhaps it is to do with our age group being busy with jobs and younger children.
