Two more votes for False Hare. Keith and I heard Helen and Katie do their first song when we did the gig at their club - and we were impressed and delighted by what we heard. Really pleased to hear they're doing well. They have taken to folk music like ducks to water. Good on yer!

As FolkieDave said, another group of youngsters to watch out for are 4 Square - oldest is 18, I think. I caught them at Cleckheaton. Great musicians and singers and they built a good rapore with the audience. The percussive piece they did (3 drums and 1 set of feet) was very imaginative.

I'm not going to forget the Young Un's - great 3 part harmony, and the Askew Sisters, the latter who are booked at the Derby Gaol Folk Club this month (Thursday, 16th).

What is also good is that, as mentioned, Helen and Katie run a folk club, as do the Young Un's. The future is certainly looking good and in safe hands.
