The Young Lomond Folk Competition 2006

The Young Lomond Folk Competition at the 2006 Lomond Folk Festival produced  performances of outstanding quality.  Despite a disappointing response in the number of entrants the level of performance was so high that all who attended the event agreed that it was a truly  memorable experience.  Let us hope that this level will be maintained in future years and that numbers of contestants will continue to rise and make the Young Lomond Folk Competition a real keystone of the festival.  

All who took part in the competition are to be congratulated but special congratulations must go to Polly Hannah Ruth Ray, winner of the 8-11 age group who delighted everyone, not just with her playing but with her witty introduction, and to Ryan Young who won the 12-16 age group medal with his astonishing agility on the fiddle.  Ryan is a veteran of the competition, having won his age group in the very first competition held at the 2004 festival.
