Frozen Gin (inactive) fRoots magazine and folk clubs (317* d) RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs 12 May 09


"Unless they don't count as 'folk enough'."

That's exactly it, Smedley, you've hit the nail right on the head. Some of the individuals and bands featured in fRoots have attained a certain level of commercial success, therefore, and to use a tried but trueism, in some people's eyes have `sold out` to `the establishment` I wonder if one of the testimonials for fRoots, by the esteemed individual, Robert Plant, is one of the roots, so to speak, of the discontent among the Cry Sell Out crowd? (indeed, in my opinion Mr. Plant is more folk than many so called folkies I've met).

I'll continue reading fRoots as long as Ian Anderson (no not that one!!)continues to edit and publish it.
