I endorse your comments completely, and I am 58, so there, I am older than you :-)

Market Rasen Folk Club is a club I want to be seen as embracing the young and old, and giving youth a chance. They are the future. In all walks of life, it needs experienced people to help and develop young poeple, and folk is no different.

Gainsborough Folk Club, I beleive has the same concept. I applaud how they nurtured Lucy and Paul into the scene. Last night was a glowing example of what Gainsborough has done to develop these two youngsters.

Another glowing example of young artists, was Liam Robinson.

What better example could they have had last night, than to work with the likes of more experienced folk singers such as CARA, Stitherum, Karen and Colin Thompson, John Blanks, Mick Pierce, Mike Wray and last but not least Diathi and Laurie. Thank you all for such a wonderful night.

It needs the older more experienced Folk Singers to embrace youngsters, support them and help them through. Without that Folk will die as we know it.
