Thread Name: Where are the new folk 'cats from?
Subject: RE: Where are the new folk 'cats from?
Harpgirl, I am not sure if I ``qualify" as new either as I have been here a few weeks now... but I am from Newcastle, NSW, Australia and have been playing guitar and singing folk for so many years (both in Oz and England) I would rather not mention the number publicly! Sing and play a bit of everything that sounds folksy or bluesy..no matter when or by whom it was written. Also play piano accordion (my wife's allows it only when she's out shopping), harmonica and recorder. We have a very active folk club in our city and a good one at nearby Woy Woy too, the Troubador...both have web pages .. but don't know how to do a blue click. The NSW Folk Federation site might have links. I have found most people very helpful and friendly on this site and hope the odd piece of info I have passed on has been received well too.
