sorry if my posts sounded a bit tetchy, but I just didn't really recognise the magazine being described. The last two fRoots covers have had Nancy Wallace & Ian King and Mawkin Causley. I can remember a cover that had Bella Hardy on it not too long ago, shortly after she released her debut album.

The album review policy that they have, with the "quickie-mini-reviews" supplementing the in-depth ones, means that up-and-coming artists get page-space that they wouldn't get in other mags.
