I'm another young folkie person-type-thing :) I'm twenty and I'm in Yorkshire in the UK. My brother and sister are both really into folk as well. Our parents were into the folk revival thing in the 60's too, and they stopped buying records when I was small. They decided to play music in the car to keep us all quiet, but discovered that we just used to sing instead :)
All of us sing, but I am the only one who really enjoys performing. I'm hoping to get down to Cropedy in the summer (All About Eve are playing on my birthday!!!), and there has been talk on another thread of a meet near Welshpool (in Wales) in the autumn. I hope to learn some new songs this year if nothing else! :)
I love Fairport and Sanny Denny in particular, but I like the variety of folk most of all. Even if you just stick to folk music from the UK, the choice is just so varied, you can spend a happy lifetime just going through it all :) I've already started my son on singing folk. He's nearly 10 months old, but he loves to listen to me sing, and it's just so sweet now he tries to join in
