I was brought up with the whole folk thing, but only in the last couple of years (I am 21 now) have I started showing a genuine interest. I have sung in a few sessions and had a good reception, with people even asking me to go and sing at their folk club. I don't have a huge amount of confidence with my singing/playing, and I find younger 'stars' such as Kate Rusby/Cara Dillon great to identify with, even though I do not want their sort of fame from it!!

Saying that, I see very few other young performers, most seem to be around my parents' age.
