Thread Name: Where are the new folk 'cats from?
Subject: RE: Where are the new folk 'cats from?
I've been posting for a few months now, but I guess I did just barge in without introducing myself.

I'm from Canberra in Australia (the national capital) and have been playing guitar for 30 years plus.

I've been listening to folk music since forever, and it can all be traced back to the fact that my parents had a stack of Jimmy Shand records, which they played incessantly.

Was part of a little three piece group until recently (our female singer left to join the police force!), just playing at a couple of local pubs. We did mostly covers but just started to incorporate some original songs when our singer left. We are now in the process of starting from scratch again with two new singers who can actually sing in harmony, which is new for us as neither myself nor the other guy can hit a note to save our lives.

Anyway, that's enough of me.
