(standing virtually up) Hi Everyone, my name is David and I've been a folkie for 10 years.
Folk Music is not dead,how can people say it is dead when I know loadsa young folkies, all you have to do is go to Towersey to see them, they may not be hardcore folkies, and totally embedded into the tradition but the important thing is they enjoy the music, play the music and dance to it.The shooting roots proves that, whats the point in having a youth workshop when supposedly they're aint any young folkies?!
Folk music is alive and well, people just dont look hard enough,theyre too distracted by the beards!

And people, I live in Essex, so 3 cheers for Essex folkies?!
