Speak to Ian Stephenson and Sam Pirt...they're really the best people on this subject.I know there are a lot of youth musicians around our area but we don't form a group as such. At the Jug there's me, Ian and Sam, and Firecat occasionally.
But as you know Ian and Sam are in the PACK a huge 12 piece youth folk band who are very good and play a mishmash of world folk music....
Hope this is of some help
