We have Folk NorthWest up here in the erm, north west! That's NW of England. In reality it covers an area up to Carlisle and down to Stoke, so there's a broad geographical remit. It's a quarterly publication available on the desks of member clubs of the North West Federation Of Folk Clubs. Grand-sounding but despite the set-out aims of support and liason, its main raison d'etre is the magazine. Reviews of live gigs, albums, diary and chatroom all in one. A worthy old thing that's been going since the '70s. The adverts mainly cover costs and even in lockdown a small print run for subscribers has ensured publication of pocket editions.
