Thread Name: Folklore: Is folk song really political?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Is folk song really political?
I really hope you're right, but I'm 37 and at most folk events I attend I'm the youngest person there. And while it's nice to be called a "young chap" at singarounds etc. I'd feel more secure about folk's future if I saw more people deserving of that description! There are young performers, but the audiences I've seen are mostly in their 50s and 60s. A couple of decades on, what will the scene be like?
