Max - if you're looking for recordings you could always go direct to the labels and find out where they sell:
Topic Records for many of the top names in British folk
Fellside for a good few more
Wild Goose a label that specialises in English (as opposed to other British) music. There are several Mudcatters wha have recorded with them, including Ralphie (Ralph Jordan of Patterson Jordan Dipper) Herga Kitty (Kitty Vernon) and MCP (Mick Pearce). and Mary Humphreys and I have a Wild Goose Album on the way...

You'll see lots of reviews in fRoots but if you're only interested in English music you may find the magazine has a view that is too world wide. I now subscribe to The Living Tradition which is more focused if you are looking for English trad. The Musical Traditions web site is a useful resource too. Those web sites carry CD reviews too.

There are others.. Google is your friend!
