Thread Name: Independent Article on Folk Awards 2012
Subject: RE: Independent Article on Folk Awards 2012
It would be difficult to quantify, but it seems to me that the proportion of 1960s/1970s young folk performers who took an extra interest in organising and facilitating folk clubs, dances and festivals as part of their interest is a higher proportion than of the young performers today.
Am I right in making this assumption/observation?
And if I am, why is this?
In other words, where are the young organisers to go with the explosion of young performers?
