Subject: RE: Folk - the latest incarnation
A few more to add if we are talking youngsters - Devils Interval were innovative and incredibly musical, though they seem to have split and Emily Portman and Jim Causley have gone on to greater things. Isombarde have the distinction of including an oboe in a folk (whatever that means) trio. Uiscedwr - Cormac Byrne and Anna Esslemont with friends - have incredible energy. And here is a group labelled as "nu-folk" - horrible term - that I came across because of my daughter who keeps me up to date with wats appnin - Stornaway - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiLO4qPkA64

I was also at an autoharp event last Saturday and was extremely pleased to see a young lady who sings with several groups starting to learn the AH - one of a couple of youngsters that we have dragged in lately.
