let us get things straight, I have no problem with froots, Iam not very interested in their board and i rarely look at it, i have no ill feeling to ian anderson and i think his magazine does a GOOD job in promoting popularising and inevitably playing a part in roots music and its commercialisation.
Im pleased that those people who enjoy his board are once again able to do so, each to their own, I agree with Ians international approach to trad music, and hope his magazine continues for along time.
However,I take exception to people like steve shaw, who seem to delight in flaming and trolling and regurgitating ancient irrelevant trivia from other discussion forums.
