Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: GUEST,Clive Pownceby Date: 19 Oct 09 - 06:07 AM Speaking as a regular reviewer for and contributor to LT, I'm used to delays in copy appearing, missed pulblication dates, and last-minute 'could you?' requests. I rather like that somewhat quirky modus operandi! - it's endearing but I can quite see why subscribers are wondering 'wh'appen?'. The last issue Folk Clubs got for door sales in the UK was the Tom Bliss cover (no.82) so Pauls' comment about issue 83, whose cover appears on the website is all the more puzzling. Come home soon LT - the children are missing you! |
Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: Folkiedave Date: 19 Oct 09 - 03:57 AM I agree with all the positive comments, great magazine - I'd just like to read it occasionally!! |
Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: treewind Date: 19 Oct 09 - 02:55 AM It's not the first time it's been late. I'm sure we'll get it eventually. From what I've heard the magazine runs on a shoestring and the admin is a bit of a shambles, probably a question of too few people doing too much work. It's bad news for it to be too late though, as many adverts are event related and will go stale, discouraging advertisers from repeating the experience. It's generally an excellent mag - I hope it keeps going. Anahata |
Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: GUEST Date: 19 Oct 09 - 02:14 AM The best magazine for folk and traditional music IMHO, far ahead of anything we have here in Ireland. That's why I have a subscription. |
Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: maeve Date: 18 Oct 09 - 06:01 PM I have greatly enjoyed Living Tradition subscriptions in the past, as well as email conversations with Pete. Wish I still could get it now. It's well worth a wait. maeve |
Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: Susanne (skw) Date: 18 Oct 09 - 04:55 PM They're doing their best to catch up, but with all the hassle and losing one of their staff it will take its time. Try a little patience, please! After all, TLT is well worth looking forward to ... |

Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: Paul Davenport Date: 18 Oct 09 - 12:39 PM Probably the strangest part of the situation is that Issue 83 appeared to find its way to Australia but still has to surface in UK. We had a lovely review in it but only managed to read it thanks to an Antipodean friend who kindly scanned the review and sent it as a .jpg. |

Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: GUEST,folkiedave Date: 15 Oct 09 - 02:37 PM I don´t seem to have had many issues for a bi monthly magazine. Seen the website I was hoping someone might expand on that. |
Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 15 Oct 09 - 11:02 AM I spoke to Pete a couple of weeks ago and he was valiently trying to catch up. Listening Post is moving again - I got a CD today. |
Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: theleveller Date: 15 Oct 09 - 10:32 AM I've just realised that I paid my subscription I forget how long ago and have only received one issue. To be honest I'd forgotten all about it. |
Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: Rasener Date: 15 Oct 09 - 10:03 AM Do you mean this statement on Living Tradition Issue 84 our next issue Our next issue is in preparation and will include features on Bob Wood, Archie Fisher, Jeff Davis, Bram Taylor and much more. This issue has been delayed for a number of reasons but primarily because of ongoing issues relating to our Summer Schools in 2007 when we became 'whistleblowers' in a complex situation involving (allegedly) property developers, local Councillors and a 'botched building' being declared Dangerous. |
Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: greg stephens Date: 15 Oct 09 - 09:53 AM Well I could think of quite a few things that are probably not happening, but that would not be very relevant. I suppose the implication of the question is possibly that something is not happening that should be happening. Like, for example, the magazine being published? |
Subject: RE: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: Rasener Date: 15 Oct 09 - 09:41 AM Is anything happening at all then Dave? |
Subject: What's happening@Living Tradition mag? From: Folkiedave Date: 15 Oct 09 - 09:37 AM Well, actually I suppose, what's not happening? |
