Well, I'm a young folkie! This June i will be 16! I live in the north of Scotland and really even though there are some pretty darn good bands out there, there is not enough being done to make kids like us really get interested in traditional music. I first got interested in folk music when i went down to a folk club in the local pub. I was allowed in there but not to drink! I sang in public for the very first time and recieved a lot of encouragement from everyone! since then i have sang, played my fiddle, piano, tin whistle and my guitar in front of loads of people and they are all so nice! Everyone on the folk scene is so friendly and I've made such a lot of new friends! and i have an auditon for a traditional music school on monday! What i really wanna do is music. I want to be a traditional musician. I really do and i'll do anything to get there! If you want to give me some times on how to get noticed i'll be so grateful! Yours in music Shona
