From: meself I've long enjoyed reading the reviews of recordings on the Musical Traditions Internet Magazine site; however, their reviews have become increasingly fewer and farther between, these last few years. Anyone have any other favoured sites that offer reviews of trad material? |

From: gillymor I use the Recordings section of the Session to get info on new and older trad recordings (predominantly tunes from the U.K. and Ireland but also tunes from the Continent and other locales). Not professional reviews but I find the comments of the members to be very helpful. |

15 Aug 23 - 03:59 PM (#4179268) Subject: RE: Recordings Reviews? From: Steve Gardham The reviews on Mustrad are mainly for albums of traditional singers, and there haven't been many of these produced lately. If you know of any I'm sure Rod would be happy to accept a review. Reinhard may have a comment on this. It would be nice to start adding reviews to 'Mainly Norfolk'. |

Free "Mixtapes" not as frequent as they once were (there is subscription service for those with a few qiid to spare) but still worth looking out for. Great photographs, too. |
