Subject: RE: Why is folk such a small market?
A quick note for Bettynh.
Nowt wrong with buying On Line. The paucity of record shops where this type of music (and I include Jazz, Blues...etc) makes it a simple option from the comfort of your own home.
But could I suggest that instead of frequenting places such as Amazon etc, you could spend a little bit more time googling the artists own websites? Quite a lot of people nowadays have a "Shopping" section, where you can buy stuff. In that way the artist has more chance of getting a bigger slice of your money, rather than paying a middle agent.
And, If my experience is anything to go by, you sometimes get a note included from the artists themselves!
Just a thought.
