As I told Richard off list, someone? has to be coming up with the money to send these youngstars. Maybe sponsors?
Conclusion. Lots of young players in Asia. Not many young players in the west, at least not at SPAH. My observation is that in western countries the harmonica is an instrument more popular with older people, like me. Perhaps it's because we focus so much on blues. We love it, the younger folk don't so much.
