Howdy Grecko Dude!
My sister lives in Houston (Texas, not Barnsley, that is!) - drop me a personal line and I'll give you her email address.
You can try asking her what's on in the area. She's no folkie, but, knowing her brother (here) is, recently emailed me to say she's a work colleague in her office that's 'into all that'.
The lady in question even has recordings by our own Maggie Boyle!
May be there's gold in them thar hills for ya! (Though Texas looked extremely FLAT in every direction when I was last there!).

(Thinks - must get some Red Eye in the flask for a change)
Happy trails! HFA
