Thank's for getting a thread back on course. For the younger members, at Whitby Folk week there is a vibrant gang of young muscians performing all over in workshops and sessions. English traditional music is sometimes played but they seem to favour contenental music. Young storytellers have started making aperances telling both traditional and self penned. AlthoughI have yet to see young singers coming through strongly but that might be to do with area. I think they all have a feel for our tradition but appreciate that to continue to play tradtional music to a wider audience they have to diversify to give an audience what they want. Keith
