Nathan,

Keep your eyes peeled and do some research- I'm sure there will be small communities around that share your interest. To be honest, it's pretty underground here too, and at my school of 1600, only 4 of us turned up to a lecture on folk music- so it's pretty frowned upon here (well, it's not really mainstream cool at least). I thought I'd never find other people, especially young people who shared my interest, but once you find one, you find another and another and another, etc. I also really like the fact that folk music, here at least, seems to indiscriminate of age. Hopefully you'll find that too. :)
