Sunjay is really good at what he does and I'm sure the longer he does it the better he'll get.

I think it's a bit disingeneous, Al, to set up this fake scenario pitting one 18 year old against the whole of traditional folk. There are loads of 'young people' playing folk music of one sort or another other than straight English/Scottish/Irish trad (including finger picking guitarists). Some of them are brilliant. It's just that they don't play at folk clubs. And why should they? They won't usually find their peers there, just their grandad's peers :-)
