Thread Name: fRoots magazine
Subject: RE: fRoots magazine
Got no problem with the world music content of fRoots, which has opened up whole new vistas over the years. The mag does have an NME-style tendency to seek out the "next big thing" - but I suppose that's inevitable. No music journalist wants to say that they overlooked someone really special in their formative years. Every music mag alternately delights and infuriates, but fRoots, Living Tradition and Songlines all help promote different aspects of roots music - surely we'd be sorry if any of them disappeared?
