The magazine was popular with our folk club members who tended to read it during the course of the evening and leave it on the table at the end. So we'd still have a boxful after several weeks. I have to say that we received far more copies than was necessary, and we couldn't take them elsewhere as other venue seemed to have loads too. That said, it was always an enjoyable read (yes I know the reviews were paid for) and it has led me to explore artistes I may never have considered otherwise. Incidentally, the Welsh magazine, Taplas, has also ceased publication after 30 years or so but is still available online by subscription.* Splott Man * Other online folk magazines are available.
