Subject: RE: Folk for the Younger Generations.
Well, Im 17 (18 next month! yay) and I LOVE goin to festivals. Ist quite hard for me though, I mean, being in Scotland and not being able to drive means i have 2 rely on my 'rents a fair bit, its not too bad though coz they enjoy the folk scene as much as I do. In fact, it was me who got them into folk in the first place!! Aye, well anyhoo, Ive been goin 2 festivals since about 13ish. Started off doin the competitions and things and gradually have been invited to a few to perform. Great fun. Im doing a good few fesitvals this year. My mates from school (totally different to the ones at fesitvals, unfortunately....) know im into folk but they dont seem 2 say much to be honest. This year although, Im doin Keith Festival and i have persuaded a few school mates 2 come along and see what its all about. Maybe i can convert them yet!!
