Rock'n'Reel is back!
www.rock-n-reel.co.uk

Rock'n'Reel….a music magazine covering the very best in roots, rock, blues and beyond.

The new publisher of Rock'n'Reel is Richard Ellin who was the commercial publisher of 'CD Review' and advertisement director…'Forte' (Trust House Fortes magazine).
Ellin was consultant to Mercedes on the re-launch of their consumer publication. He was involved in the launch of the Today newspaper and has also worked for the
BBC on 'The Radio Times'.

A fan and subscriber to the original Rock'n'Reel first published in 1998, Richard Ellin is committed to the magazine's long term future as a serious music journal.
Rock'n'Reel started life as a fanzine with modest ambitions and grew into a fully fledged magazine; this development will now continue with the relaunch
in December 2006. The new version of Rock'n'Reel will appear nationally as a one hundred and forty page glossy bi monthly with its own distinctive cover mount
CD entitled 'UN-HERD'

Un-Herd Volume 1 includes music by Canned Heat, Ani DiFranco, Steve Hackett, Eleanor McEvoy, Paul Lamb and The King Snakes, Colin Scot, Heartless Bastards, Die Hunns, Luke Doucet, Denison Witmer and more. There will be a further free CD in the Un-herd series affixed to the cover of each subsequent issue of Rock'n'Reel.

Never a magazine to kow-tow to the vagaries of musical fashion, Rock'n'Reel has attracted some of the best music writers in the British Isles.
Editor Sean McGhee returns with most of the original writing team who are equally delighted and excited to be working again on the magazine promising lots of exclusive interviews and interesting music features and off the wall photography.   

Rock'n'Reel has been completely redesigned in full colour with reader friendly layouts. The review section will be divided into categories of styles allowing readers to locate their favourite music in a more satisfying and absorbing way.

The first issue of the relaunched Rock'n'Reel includes interviews with Shane MacGowan, Donovan, Paul Rodgers, Flogging Molly, Christy Moore, Jacqui McShee, Arlo Guthrie, Andy Roberts, Dick Gaughan, Legendary Shack Shakers, James Yorkston, Spiers & Boden, Joe Brown, and features on Bob Dylan, Marc Bolan, Nick Drake, Arthur Lee and Syd Barrett … plus all the usual CD, live, DVD, book reviews and news.

The collection courtesy of Terra Nova and Osmosys Records gives the listener almost five hours of hard core folk, world music and comedy as well as left field contemporary sounds. The offer earns the subscriber seventy one tracks which include some very rare pieces by well known performers as well as gems from up and coming artists.
