Subject: RE: Tom Paley on BBC Radio
Some references to specialist press, "the obvious places" etc on here got me to wonder - is there actually a UK magazine that specialises in old-time/ American traditional music? If so it's far below my radar, even further down than What Cavedweller!

I sometimes see Old Time Herald from the USA but don't know of anything here since the days of Tony Russell's late lamented magazine yonks ago. Froots covers a little (feature on the wonderful Elizabeth LaPrelle recently) and Maverick gets a bit among the "Americana" frocks, but I don't know of anywhere else mentioning it at all. It's probably not rock enough for R2, Scottish enough for Living Tradition, English enough foe ED&S or trendy worldy enough for Songlines. I'm not even sure if Country Music People still exists.
