Re: Whos going to folkworks youth summer school this year ( 11th-16th august 08)?
My life is being blighted by this question, I was just asked to a facebook group titled precisely the same thing. I cannot come. I am working ten weeks full-time this summer, in prep for leaving home in September...ten weeks seems like a long time when you're sixteen but I guess I'll have to get used to it...this is life after all.

Damn, you beat me to it! I was going to post the same discussion.
And Abby, I wish you would shut up with your "Oh well that's life, I can't complain". You SHOULD complain! Ten weeks IS a long time, whatever age you are, especially if you're doing something you don't like when you could be doing something you do like! And complaining may not do any practical good, but it will make you feel a hell of a lot better!
Sorry, had to get that off my chest.
Anyway, I'm coming! Apparently Catriona MacDonald is one of the fiddle tutors, so that should be well good. I don't know who the others are yet, except that Pete Cooper is the "Seriously Advanced Band" tutor. He keeps making fun of the name, he can't believe they actually have the gall to call it that. They should learn some wicked cool tunes, though! (Yeah, Dow!)

If that vision doesnt put young people off the music then nothing will.
