Thread Name: R2 magazine formerly Rock'n'Reel
Subject: RE: R2 magazine formerly Rock'n'Reel
I am but a poor student so I don't buy magazine's often. However, when I do it's always R2. I really love it, especially for discovering new talent.

I suppose my one pet peeve is that sometimes I find it hard to tell the difference between an advert and a normal article, which I personally find really annoying, but I'm sure it's just me.

Overall, I think it's the best folk orientated magazine out there- I have tried a few but always go back to R2. I also find the interviews informative instead of nosey, which I find is where a lot of magazine fail (I want to know about the artists genius, not what car they recently purchased!) Also, I find other magazines target older people too much and I lose interest. However, R2 is very much targeted towards an interest rather than an age group, which is great.

I actually never knew you posted on here otherwise I would have been pestering you for a job long ago...

Sinéad.
