The kid's are out there, the trouble lies in location's and transport unless mum or dad's taxi is available you will not see them (a bit elusive is the younger generation)i'm sure this is the same the whole world over as it is here in the UK. My own son participates in two fiddle groups one through school and music centre with his music teacher who has produced folk based tune books for young musicians. The music centre has approx 30 young violin players whom often play folk music but as their parents are not folkies you will not see them at any festivals. The second is the Wooton Fiddle club where there are a great number of fine young muscians playing folk music but not always going to festivals. There is of course also Folkworks doing good work as well. All we have to be is patient they will arrive. Keith
