Took my bloke to Sidmouth last year, his first time. We went to a number of 'late night extras' at Bulverton-he couldn't believe the marquee was full of ,as he put it, 'young people' ie lots younger than us, in body if not in mind! If I'd told him a few hundred teenagers/twentysomethings were dancing and listening to 'folk music' and having a great time he would have thought I was fibbing!
Was really impressed when everyone sat enthralled to watch the winner of the memorial jig competition!
Don't think we really have anything to worry about for the future.They're all out there but just maybe not attending clubs.
I know when I was at art college I never let on to a soul that I liked listening to morris tunes, thought I'd loose street cred! There must have been lots like me-and here we all are now!!'Out of the closet' !
As to bubblyrats thing in the pub at Sidmouth, just arrogant youth with a few things to learn in life!!
