Thread Name: fRoots magazine and folk clubs
Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs
Great magazine, fRoots. Considering it has an entire globe to cover, these tiny islands do relatively well.

If you want a magazine that concentrates almost entirely on UK folk, try Living Tradition or English Dance and Song. Both of them are alright, but in my opinion fRoots is better written and far more mind expanding.

fRoots does not exist as the house magazine of the British folk scene, and frankly, why should it? That's not its remit. If it had been, it would have probably collapsed years ago...

Meanwhile Faye (and maybe others) might enjoy this: Spiral Earth

And what Jeri said hit the nail on the head.
