Hi everyone - I'm new here, and I hope I'm not breaking some kind of etiquette rule by posting this. Please be gentle with me if I have!

I've played the guitar rather badly for many years now, just strumming a few self-taught chords, but I'd really like to start playing something a bit more complex. I'm very into Kate Rusby, and I love the guitar style on her songs, but I'd have no idea of where to start teaching myself to play like that.
I'm currently studying in Leicester (East Midlands, UK) and wondered if any locals knew of a teacher who might be patient enough to take me on?

I'd be really grateful for any help you could offer.
