"I am just attempting to found a song circle"

And it is a great idea. Let's face it you are only needing several people to sit round and play to kick it off. I only commented re the size of the town because you seemed to suggest that it being so small was somehow an impediment to there being the type of thing you're looking for. And likewise then added because it was so isolated. I don't see either of those as impediments to what you'd like to do. Firstly because it isn't so small a catchment population in the scheme of things and secondly because even people in isolated places need hobbies and interests, and have talents! I'd be more on the glass half full page. Especially if there is already a thriving music scene.
