Thread Name: Young Folkies?
Subject: RE: Young Folkies?
Hi,

I was 'into folk' from a very young age too, and it didn't help that
I grew up in the Netherlands (*waves to Turlough*), where folk tradition is practically non-existent.
But: I managed to find other young folkies at my local music school, so perhaps that's an option? The music classes I joined were geared more towards Yiddish and Eastern European music than Irish/English, but that opened up a whole new world of music for me.
Now that I've moved to Ireland, young folk musicians are everywhere...
