"Old codgers in country pubs who know some folksongs" - that sounds like me and the people I tend to hang out with.

Back in the Sixties in England there weren't too many old codgers around, because in most places the idea of making music yourself and singing old songs had been almost drummed out of society. That's what was meant by referring to it as a revival. And though it's escaped from the spotlight, it's never died out, so there are now a couple of generations around, as well as the young ones.

The sessions and the festivals tend to be where the action is these days, rather than the clubs (with some exceptions), but from what I've seen, there's no shortage of young people, playing music or listening to it, or dancing. There are also a fair number of older people - but then most people in this country are older people anyway, so that's what you'd expect anyway.
