yes, true,
also one or two of musical traditions reviews are not very good,plus many of the local folk magazines,the standard there is very poor[in my opinion].
it is a problem ,many of the local folk magazines have very little money,and reviewers do not get renumerated.[you pay peanuts you get monkeys].
but it doesnt alter the fact that amateurs,have the power to castigate ,professional musicians,result the reputation of reviewing is lowered.
