17 Jun 06 - 06:31 AM (#1762079) Subject: Favourite music magazines (UK) From: GUEST,John Robinson I was wondering if folks would be willing to take part in a quick straw poll of their favourite music/arts magazine(s). Anyone admit to reading one or more of the following: Acoustic Word Uncut Mojo Q Maverick Song Book Aesthetica The Wessex Muse Magazine Folk North West Folk on Tap Living Tradition Others |

19 Jun 06 - 02:38 PM (#1763891) Subject: RE: Favourite music magazines (UK) From: GUEST,Wayne I buy the local Yorkshire quarterlies which are all pretty decent, and I buy Classic Rock & Fireworks which both feature Popular Beat Combos from days of Yore as well as new rock/metal bands. The national folk magazines are all pretty indifferent - rarely worth the asking price - although I do quite enjoy Maverick and Dirty Linen when I can find them. Is Songbook the spin-off from the superb and much lamented Rock 'n' Reel? Should be pretty good if it is. Cheers Wayne |

19 Jun 06 - 03:27 PM (#1763932) Subject: RE: Favourite music magazines (UK) From: GUEST The absolute essential is fROOTS, though my bank manager might disagree due to the way it encourages my CD buying and gig-going habits. I rather like the Word, and occasionally read Mojo when travelling. Would thumb through Living Tradition but hardly ever see it and don't like it enough to subscribe (its rather stuck in the values of the 1970's) I've never heard of Maverick, Song Book, Aesthetica or The Wessex Muse Magazine. What are they? |

20 Jun 06 - 12:08 PM (#1764723) Subject: RE: Favourite music magazines (UK) From: Grab I've not found Word's selection of music to be very good. Their articles are a bit hit-and-miss too (although they do seem to have a few interesting ones in each edition), but the cover CDs are very average. Classic Rock if the CD that month appeals. Also Total Guitar and Guitar Techniques if they have stuff tabbed or techniques/exercises that I'm interested in. Otherwise nothing else. Graham. |
