Back when I was a student, back in 1970 (give or take a year) I became involved in producing a magazine called Folk Unlimited. There were 3 others involved: the bloke whose idea it was (whose name has long left my memory banks); Tony Foxworthy looked after the trad stuff; and a singer from Royston (again no name on the rim of my memory) did the contemporary stuff. It only ran for 2 issues and ran out of cash before we could get the 3rd out. I was reminded of this when I was clearing out an old plan chest drawer and found some of my original illustrations, but my copies of the mag are long gone. I spoke to Tony Foxworthy last year at Whitby, and he remembered it well, but the conversation was too brief to pursue things further. A feature of this magazine was that the articles were written by active members of the folk scene themselves. In these 2 issues we had features from Bridget St John, Tony Arthur and Karl Dallas among others. If anyone has a copy that they could scan and convert to PDF, I'd be eternally grateful. Yours in anticipation, Splott Man |

Gwyn Jones from Swansea is also looking out for old copies of Albion Sunrise (produced by Owen Jones of Chepstow from the 70s on) and Touch & Go (she believes it came out of Carmarthen also in the 70s). Anyone? Cheers, Splott Man |
