Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Frozen Gin (inactive) Date: 16 May 09 - 11:49 AM which part of Ian Anderson (NO, not that one!!) don't you understand...? I've printed it every time I've mentioned Ian Anderson's (no NOT that one!!) name |

In which case not fair to mislead gullible folks who might think that Ian really WAS in that group !!!" Well, he was. Just a different Ian, that's all. :0) chuckle! There you go again, Irene. Sheesh but you tell me off sooooo much. Do you think you should see a therapist about it? ;0) Fer goodness sake, Ian has a great sense of humour. I used to say that all the time about him on the BBC board and he'd come back with something funny, usually...apart from that time when he didn't and he verbally stuck his tongue out at me...and I crossed him off my birthday party list for that year and told him I wasn't ever going to sit next to him again, or give him even a teaspoon of my jelly! Hurrummmmph! Ah, those were the days. The Good Ol' Days, when humour abounded on the BBC board, witty and jolly commemts, and then, along came The Serious Ones, and it all got terribly complicated. Anyways ups, what's this thread about again? Oh yes, fRuits in folk clubs, kind of Carmen Miranda style? Lawdy, lawdy...and to think he keeps you folx on his board and got rid of the chuckles... Ho hum...methinks he was having a bad day that day..... :0) Yes, I know Joe....I know..... Tiger Moth (Video on Moth Dance page) |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Leadfingers Date: 16 May 09 - 02:05 PM Before Hot Vultures , and at the same time as his Solo Career as a Blues Man , Ian was in a Trio with the late Al Jones and Harmonica player Elliot Jackson - they did at least one E P for Saydisc . And before that , was in a SORT of jug band called 'The Back Water Juke Band , with me on Soprano Sax and Tin Whistle . |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: The Borchester Echo Date: 16 May 09 - 03:49 PM Who's Frozen Gin? Must be that geezer who used to live in John Spiers' house and stole his gin. He topped up the bottle with water so that when it came out of the freezer it was solid. He probably thinks of the tune as a compliment and about him. It isn't. Shits abound in this mythical, cotton-wool clouds-tinged, sparkly never-never land some label "the f*lk scene", just like in the r.o.t.w. Reminds me of a piece I just wrote on Freecycling in response to some pissed-off burghers of Haringey who were somehow amazed at the discovery of mirror sites, bootsale sellers-on and complete absence of courtesy and consideration. As for IAA's bands, the ECBB did not precede the Vultures. Indeed, it's still gigging (once in a while), as is Tiger Moth and a new(ish) combo Blue Blokes Three just to show that unlike his namesake, he ain't Living In The Past. |

There is no mention of that or Jethro Tull unfunnily enough on his Myspace biog but I did see him last year at the QEH Shirley Collins festival in Hot Vultures 3 with Maggie Holland and a mandolin player. No wonder he doesn't have time to write about folk clubs, to get back on topic. Still waiting for "Faye Roche"! |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: TheSnail Date: 16 May 09 - 08:37 PM I was just sort of wondering if there was any chance of a polite discussion of Ian Anderson's fRooots editorial where he does talk about folk clubs. Bearded Fundamentalist (FLF) |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: The Borchester Echo Date: 17 May 09 - 02:46 AM And who said E C B B preceded Vultures? Not me but I know who did. Who's this Leadfingers anyway? Is this the one who walked out of the Agricultural Implements Band to form Blodwyn Pig? On the fRoots Letters Board somebody's dragged up the Island sleeve with a pic of all those who did (or didn't) appear on a compilation LP. http://froots.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=17247#17247 |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Vic Smith Date: 17 May 09 - 09:06 AM .... to everyone who has taken part in this vitriolic thread! The fact is that not one of us knew the evil machinations that were going on. The fault does not lie with Ian Anderson, with Show of Hands, even with Lizzie Cornish or Dick Miles! Fortunately, secret filming has now resolved the whole Machiavellian source of the dispute as can be seen from this YouTube video. It is the duty of everyone who has taken part in this discussion - or even read it - to go and see the evidence this very minute and consider what has been written in the light of this evidence. Click straight away on - Show of Hands - Bellowhead |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 17 May 09 - 09:20 AM Oh VIC! I think I lurve you! Apart from the bit about the Folk Award...tut tut...that was absolutely marvellous! I am splitting my sides down here in Sidmouth, but you'd better hide from Bellowhead next time you see them, or you may find them trying to fit that tuba into rather a strange place! |
|
Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: GUEST,Chris Murray Date: 17 May 09 - 11:50 AM I must say that Ian has behaved with a lot of dignity by not getting involved in this nasty thread. |
|
Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 17 May 09 - 12:31 PM Yup, almost as much dignity as when he used to come on the BBC, eh...Chris? ;0) I think Ian's quite happy to 'take it' as well as 'give it out' you know...and if you ask Diane, she'll tell you the story of how the comment I made about having a zoomed up mobility scooter all ready for Ian, at the first ever Sidmouth Folk Week, and volunteered to push him up and down the promenade, as I puuled his leg that he was too old for Sidmouth..was enjoyed very much by Ian. Of course, Fiona used it to tell everyone in Longdogs 'Live Chat' how I hated old people...and the rest, as they do say, became internet history. Lighten up and enjoy the thread. Ian doesn't mind having his ARSS kicked in the same way he kicks the ARSSs of others. |
|
Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: The Borchester Echo Date: 17 May 09 - 01:56 PM No, I haven't any "funny stories" about mobility scooters. My understanding of that particular remark is that the Ed found it mildly funny and not as gratuitously offensive as most of the rest of the stuff flying from madlizziecornish's mouth as Sidmouth Folk Week was attempting a takeover from the International Festival in 2005. It does not, however, merit repetition. What I am wondering though is how exactly will the current Sidmouth organising committee feel about being likened to the 3rd Reich. |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: theleveller Date: 17 May 09 - 02:11 PM "What I am wondering though is how exactly will the current Sidmouth organising committee feel about being likened to the 3rd Reich." Probably depends on whether they have a sense of humour or not. Personally, I find it essential to get through life. |
|
Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: GUEST,Chris Murray Date: 17 May 09 - 02:21 PM Actually, I don't remember Ian ever being amused by your comments, Lizzie, but I'm probably wrong. I don't think Diane or Fiona found many of them funny, either. Normally Ian posts on any thread on this board (and the BBC one) that attacks him or fRoots. I've no doubt he's followed this thread but has retained his dignity by not posting, giving no-one a chance to make attacks that are even more personal and offensive. |
|
Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Frozen Gin (inactive) Date: 17 May 09 - 02:28 PM I agree with that theleveller, the humour that is oh and the origins of Frozen Gin (was that masked stranger Jon Boden?)is as follows The Sloe Gin Set is: Frozen Gin / The Vinegar Reel / The Sloe by the by, for our Canadian readers, Bellowhead are doing a mini Canadian tour in July lots of jumping up and down involved, and the ability to have a good time is, of course, a good idea! |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: greg stephens Date: 17 May 09 - 02:41 PM Chris Murray: apart from the two usual suspects, this thread seems to be pretty much pro-fRoots (can't I've read absolutely all of it!). Ceratinly the vast majority of contributors to Mudcat are in favour of the magazine, much like contributors to the fRoots Forum |

Thanks Diane, I couldn't remember who wrote what without finding my copy of Burlesque, which is around here somewhere. |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 17 May 09 - 03:36 PM "No, I haven't any "funny stories" about mobility scooters." You don't???? Oh, I have TONS! You need to come and live in Sidmouth for a while... I'm going to have a sparkly piypul one, with a 'Show of Hands 4 EVER!' flag on it, fluttering wildly in the breeze! "My understanding of that particular remark is that the Ed found it mildly funny" Nope, you said, over on Myspace, that Ian had found that remark VERY funny. It was the same you told me about meeting fiona, and Ian meeting her too. I zink yoo muzt be getting forgetful... :0) >>>"Actually, I don't remember Ian ever being amused by your comments, Lizzie, but I'm probably wrong.

I've no doubt he's followed this thread but has retained his dignity by not posting, giving no-one a chance to make attacks that are even more personal and offensive."<<<< Oh, for Gawd's sake, Chris, DO see the funny side of things now and again. Ian, Diane and I, for your information, used to have a riotous time on the BBC, outdoing each other with wit and dry, black humour. It brought LOADS of people into that board, and lit it up. Diane can be a little er...erm...now and again, but I've always appreciated her humour and she can be bloody funny at times! Also, for your information, Diane, Ian and I, have, at various times, all spoken to each other 'behind the scenes', sometimes with **!*!*!* flying around and sometimes not. You, along with just a few others, spoilt a great threesome and helped to make the BBC board a shadow of it's former self. NONE of you knew what I was about, what I was trying to do, what I did....because you were all so busy willing to be led astray by someone with a deeply personal (and totally bizarre) grudge that you lost your sense of humour along the way and that board lost something special...and THAT was an absolute passion for the music. Now, the most passionate it gets is when one of you spots me, and you all jump and down running to teacher about it.."Miss, MISS, she's over THERE, LOOOOK!"....spending so much time pressing the darned complaints button that you don't even probably read half of what's on the board in the first place... And now, I'll leave you all to go running to Joe about me, and give him a headache, so he'll come to me and tell me not to be on this thread anymore. Sooooo bizarre! Anyways ups, I expect Ian thinks that video is a hoot...and of course, Diane will have spluttered all over her desk whilst watching it.. Get Diane to give you some humour lessons, life will be much more fun. Oh..and no need to grovel to Ian, he's quite capable of looking after himself. |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 17 May 09 - 03:43 PM "I don't think Diane or Fiona found many of them funny, either." Fer Goodness sake, Diane loves me really..haven't you sussed that one out yet? :0) We both respect each other's humour and passion for the music. She doesn't care when I call her Sweetums, and I don't care when she calls me madlizziecornish or the Sidmouth Seagull. Fiona was way too intent on proving to you all that I was a troll, and tried her hardest to be the new Diane. She never made it, I'm afraid, just caused a deep unrest. Once, we were 'friends' on that board, but she decided to change it all, despite me asking her, over and over, to stop. And now, probably best to let any more talk of her stop, as she's not around to put her side of the story forward, but I can assure you, that if you want to join Longdogs, and ask them exactly what happened, they'll tell you the whole bloomin' story, as it happened in front of about 6 or more witnesses. And now, back to fRoots and Ian Anderson.... |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: TheSnail Date: 17 May 09 - 03:58 PM Er...I was just..um...sort of wondering if...maybe...there was any...sort of...chance of a...more or less...polite...um...discussion of Ian Anderson's fRooots editorial. Just a thought. |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Frozen Gin (inactive) Date: 17 May 09 - 05:01 PM I asked the question a few posts back, and, apparently, the answer is a resounding no! |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: GUEST,Chris Murray Date: 17 May 09 - 06:13 PM Lizzie, I don't know what you're talking about - but you've got me wrong. The only times I respond to anything you write is to try to calm things down and be the 'voice of reason'. Clearly I'm not very good at it. I think postings on a message board can be misunderstood and I think that's what must have happened. I was posting on the BBC board before you were. How could I have spoilt a great threesome? Your attitude to me changed as soon as you knew I was a teacher. Before that you thought I was OK. Who is this person who led me astray? I quite enjoy it when you storm the BBC board and I don't grass on you. It was Jim Moray who spotted you last time, back in February. I'd never grovel to Ian (why would I?) or go running telling tales to Joe. I don't know who Jo is. I'll take your word for it that you and Diane were friends - but it seems unlikely! |
|
Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 17 May 09 - 06:54 PM Nooo, not friends...just occasionally nice to one another.. :0) No Chris, you're being a teacher has nothing to do with it. Anyways, back to frooty trooty... |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: GUEST,Chris Murray Date: 18 May 09 - 06:35 AM Well, I don't know what else I'm supposed to have done. As I said, you've 'misunderestimated' me. My comments on this thread about Ian were supposed to be funny, as are most of the comments that I make. It's so easy to misunderstand someone when there comments are written down. Ian would normally have joined in with any discussion about fRoots. The fact that he hasn't joined in this time shows admirable restraint. I think maybe I won't contribute to this forum any more, for a while, as I seem to be (unintentionally) causing bad feeling. I ought to take my own advice and not let you upset me! |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Mitch2 Date: 20 May 09 - 06:56 AM I haven't been here for a few days so I've just seen the last week's worth of posts. Jeri- we didn't intend any confusion. Faye and I are a couple, and we sometimes use the same computer. Hence the identity confusion; sorry! |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: The Sandman Date: 20 May 09 - 07:08 AM froots brief [as I understand it]is to cover roots music from around the world including England and the UK.It is not a magazine that is specifically UK FOLK CLUB /FESTIVAL MAGAZINE. The Living Tradition is. because Froots has a much wider brief,it is[imo] going to be more difficult for it to cover every grass roots band,from every country,it also has an economic constraint[this applies to all magazines]it needs advertising to help fund the magazine. a lot of grass roots bands cannot afford to advertise in magazines such as froots,and so consequently dont get exposure,it is a chicken and egg situation. |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Les in Chorlton Date: 21 May 09 - 04:22 AM I feel sure somebody could write a good song about this. In fact someone has and sang one last night in The Beech, Chorlton, and I think it might escape and become well known. I just need Matthew to give me the nod and a chorus could be released into the community Cheers L in C |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: GUEST, Chris Smith Date: 24 May 09 - 11:38 AM Anyone who's managed to read through this thread this far - "the horror, the horror" - but who has never seen or read a copy of fRoots magazine might care to take a look at the latest edition, here: fRoots - June 2009 - No 312 and compare the content they will find therein with the content as portrayed by some of the posted comments here. A big 'thank you' to Ian for producing Southern Rag, Folk Roots, and fRoots throughout the last thirty (plus) years. |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Folknacious Date: 24 May 09 - 12:03 PM Though if you like it, of course, in future you should buy your own copy, people! Yes, according to the Froots board today that linked copy is only put up as a demo of their forthcoming cheaper-for-overseas digital version, and for current non-readers to see what the paper mag itself looks like. It won't normally be a free read. A loss leader then! |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: GUEST,Karen Tweed Date: 25 May 09 - 04:24 PM I have to say that I never usually have time to read or take part in these kind of discussions - I prefer to have discussions face to face or atleast where I can hear the tone of someone's voice because so much can be misinterpreted. I have to say that the comments re Reg Meuross by DE I find both misinformed (or maybe she misunderstood his comments?) and rather misguided. Reg is, like Chris Wood, entirely professional in his conduct (and believe me there are plenty of misogynist promoters / radio presenters and journalists out there - both male and female) and both guys are brave enough to comment when they feel injustice has been done. Others don't as they are afraid that they may never get a decent review again.... Popular to contrary belief, many of us in the professional music network don't take reviews too seriously or we would pack it all in. It's only one opinion and totally subjective, even if it is from an informed viewpoint. One persons meat is anothers poison. Thank God. What is maddening though is that there are remits that cannot be sustainable - world music has never meant world music and I just wish there were no categories so that we could walk into record stores and everything would be filed A-Z with someone behind the desk who knew as much as Andrew Cronshaw about all types of music. Discussions like these can get entirely out of hand. We are all in favour of tradition, quality and integrity. Why can't we all just live and let live? Because human condition is to criticize and compete. But what do I know? I'm just an accordion player from Willesden. No need to reply - this is just an observation and I shall resume my state of non participation in these discussions. I think that everyone is doing as best they can to keep good music and tradition alive. There is no best.... or as Martin Hayes says, 'The best (music) is yet to come...." Karen Tweed |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Vic Smith Date: 14 Jul 10 - 10:37 AM Well, here's one to counter all the negative comments about fRoots. The magazine and its editor Ian Anderson have just been named for a very important award. Here is the announcement:- "WOMEX 10 Award for Professional Excellence WOMEX is proud to announce the winner of the WOMEX 10 Award for Professional Excellence: Ian Anderson (UK), founder and editor-in-chief of the magazine fRoots, on behalf of the independent press. He will receive his Award on Sunday 31 October 2010, at the Awards Ceremony. The laudation will be offered by the leading journalist Robin Denselow (UK), known for his work with the BBC and The Guardian among others. Since 1999 we have given the WOMEX Award to extraordinary artists and professionals from our community deserving of special praise but we have never ever awarded the media. And yet the independent media play such a crucial role for our kind of music business, part of us, supporting us and providing a vital forum for topics that otherwise would fall through the grid or answer only to big-media-corp interests. With the Internet bringing change to all traditional business models, offering the media world its own urgent challenges - now, more than ever is the time to show our support for an independent media. We will let Robin Denselow take over from here to shed light on Ian Anderson's voyage: "1979 may have been a great year for British rock and pop music, but this was a terrible year for folk music or roots music. It was a year of great post-punk bands like XTC, the Specials, Dire Straits, and of course disco. As I noted in one of my reviews that year, 'Folk rock, once one of the healthiest strands in British popular music, is in a pretty miserable state these days'." "But this was the year when a young folk music musician with gloriously eclectic taste and an international outlook, decided to start a fanzine, published quarterly, called The Southern Rag. In doing so he helped to kick-start the new folk revival that was to come, and the success of what came to be known as 'world music'." "The Southern Rag did well. It attracted international subscribers, and in 1984 it became a monthly called Folk Roots. It has always been charmingly quirky, in terms of lay-out and design, and in 1999 the editor made the decidedly quirky decision to change the name to fRoots. And heaven help anyone who pronounced it the way it was spelled and called it 'froots'." "The man responsible for all this was, of course Ian Anderson. Also known as Ian A. Anderson, to avoid confusion with a certain flute-player, he had already enjoyed a lengthy and colourful career as a musician, independent record-label pioneer and producer, specialising first in country blues before switching to what is now called Psych-folk." "His musical career has continued, of course, most recently with Blue Blokes 3. But it's as the editor of fRoots that he has revived the fortunes of roots music, in Britain and beyond. Along with Charlie Gillett and Joe Boyd, he was one of the small group who dreamed up the term 'World Music' in 1987. And as all those who read fRoots will know, he is an enthusiast, a maverick and a guide, who promotes great new artists long before they have been discovered by the mainstream media. That's why an independent magazine like fRoots is so vital to the music scene. And that's why it's only right that Ian Anderson - exemplar of the independent roots press - should receive this award." |

Subject: RE: fRoots magazine and folk clubs From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 14 Jul 10 - 12:25 PM Is Womex 10 a new kind of Toilet Cleaner, used at WOMAD? And if so, why has Ian won it? Was he on Volunteer Duty or something? Cripes! I'd forgotten how funny this thread was! I've been laughing fit to burst over here in Torquay. Oh..and could someone suggest to Grumpy Ed that he starts a new magazine up called fRoots&aCoustic because THAT will get him out of this pickle that he's in...He can have photos of Seth, Show of Hands, Mumford & Sons, Coldplay, Hotplay and tons of averts for Womex 10 all over it!! Tell him to totally ignore all those FusspotFolkies who've got him into this state in the first place....and tell him to get his flute out (not in public though) stand on one leg, and GO FOR IT! :0) |

I am not saying they dont exist, just cant think of any names. |
