Subject: fRoots May issue copy date - heading for summer!
Hello!
Situated as we are just north of the
Somerset Levels ("twinned with Atlantis" as a guerilla-modified road
sign currently says), it's hard to imagine the world as anything other than
wet, but now we're seeing long range weather forecasts saying this summer is
going to be a scorcher. Let's just fantasise that this is true, shall we?!
So it may still be March but we know
there are loads of good things happening in May and the early summer - lots of
gigs, early festivals, some great-looking album releases - and here's your way
to tell people about them . . .
THE MAY 2014 fROOTS
Issue 371 of the only
indispensable folk, roots and world music magazine!
? Copy
date alert - Tuesday, 11th March : email - ads_at_frootsmag_dot_com
? Published 20th April (subscribers a week earlier)
? Rates & Data: frootsmag.com/content/ads
? On the cover, the wonderful 9Bach,
one of the best bands on the revitalised Welsh scene, with their new album
being released by Real World.
? Plus our usual amazing array
of features on great music from here, there and everywhere!
? Also available on our iPad,
iPhone and Android apps.
WHY?fROOTS?
? fRoots is hugely
more comprehensive than any other magazine in its field, sometimes
carrying more than double the in-depth feature content, more news, reviews and
original commissioned photography than its nearest competitor!
? With less and less mainstream
media coverage for this music, fRoots remains the essential grass roots folk, roots and world music guide - more than ever the main focal point, filter and buzz
creator in our community. You'll invariably read about it first in fRoots.
? Our maximum readership cross-over
with any other music publication is only 29%. With fRoots you
reach the long-term committed folk, roots and world music audience and
opinion-formers that no other magazine gets to.
? Winners of the Womex Award
for Professional Excellence
WE HAVE THE BEST READERS!
? They consume! Like all
hard core music fans, fRoots readers are still buying an
average of over 40 CDs a year, and lots of downloads on top of that.
? They respond! 95% of fRoots readers
buy CDs and 72% go to live events as a result of reading about them in
fRoots.
? They're everywhere! Most do their
main buying online, and 40% are outside the UK. There are no barriers to
directly reaching them from and to everywhere! If you're an overseas label,
you don't need a UK distributor.
OUR DIGITAL EDITION
? fRoots print magazine subscribers
now also get free access to the digital editions.
? We have desktop,
laptop, iOS and Android tablet and mobile
phone versions.
? NO EXTRA COST. All
adverts are carried in identical form in our digital editions with free web
links.
? Access a sample digital
edition free of charge.
FREE NEWS LISTINGS
? We list information on May
events in the news section of this issue.
? News deadline: Monday 17th
March.
