Subject: RE: Folk Clubs and attracting younger people
I've not subscribed to folk magazines for a few years now although I bought A "Living Tradition" yesterday as there was a particular article I wished to read.

I find that I can keep myself up to date online these days and even read much of the magazine contents up there.

As an example of what is considered good "product" in Froots, here's a link to their charts for this week...

There are one or two interesting things there but the bulk of it has nothing much to do with folk or traditional music as I know it or even "world music". Some of the albums are several years old too.
