FOLK MUSIC IS FOR EVERYONE (INCLUDING US YOUTH'S!!!!!)

I know loads and loads and then loads more young folk bands, folk musicians etc.. The scene is buzzing like never before.

I have disovered there are are 3 main (not the only) places where there are loads of EXCELLENT folk musicians. These places are in Scotland, paticularly around Glasgow (with the Academy of music), Newcastle (due to Folkworks and now the degree course) and Derbyshire (because!!)

I am 21 by the way and am in a band's 422, The Pack, AAAAG etc.. All under the age of 21!!, there are many more.
