..and how did you know the colour of my eyes...?? nah, that's gotta be a lucky guess.

Anyway, I'm not even sure if there is a trad folk club, anywhere near our town and colleges anymore ??
The main college does have an excellent reputation for music and performance arts.
Until recently there were local council funded festivals at parks and venues
for the students to take their first big steps in public.
The usual mix of punk/metal bands, and acoustic singer/songwriters

Now maybe just a couple of cafes and wine bars provide encouragement
for the more determined acoustic singer/songwriters?

Maybe for that reason I think the one remaining small guitar shop
probably sells more beginners acoustics than electrics.
I admit I'm a bit out of touch the last 2 or 3 years,
but I don't remember ever hearing a young acoustic kid perform
a 'trad folk song' at any of the local promotional gigs and events for teen student gigs
I attended since I moved back to this area 15 years ago.
[and I was involved in an active network of community music projects - dating back to the 1980s
- while the local councils could afford them]
