Thread Name: young people and Folk Music
Subject: RE: young people and Folk Music
I was fourteen when my parents took me to my first folk club, and I was completely hooked! I was the youngest one there. My parents interest waned very quickly, but..... I am now nearly 60 and one of the youngest that attend the few folk clubs we have here in Cornwall.U.K. However, when I lived nearer to "civilisation", there was a groundswell of young "folkies", supremely talented musicians and singers, that enthralled me and continue to do so. I'm sure I know a few die-hards that eschew anything under 70 as immature, but the rest of us love 'em!
