Subject: fRoots JUNE Issue - LATE COPY ALERT!
Late copy reminder!
THE JUNE 2015 fROOTS
Issue 384 of the only indispensable folk, roots and world music
magazine!
? FINAL COPY DEADLINE - this Friday, 17th April
? If you didn't already
do so, secure space by emailing Gina Jennings: ads_at_frootsmag_dot_com
? PUBLISHED:
21st May. Reaches subscribers from around 14th May.
? The festival season's under way and what's feeling
like a great year for new CDs is really roaring along. The May fRoots
carried more news than we've published in any issue in 35 years!
? On the cover, Trio
Da Kali, the new generation of Malian griot music.
? Also in this
issue, we'll visit the opposite corners of the UK folk scene with a stop-press
report on the high profile 2015 Folk Awards and a profile of cottage
industry label Musical Traditions, plus a catch up with Bella Hardy,
an introduction to hot new Kinshasa band Mbongwana Star, and lots more
from Scandiwegia to Shropshire via the Caribbean. Another fine and typically
untypical mixture!
? Reflecting our grass
roots origins and long-time support for artist-run labels and
self-managed touring, we've recently extended our cheaper ?small trader'
rates to include the popular 1/4 page size. See frootsmag.com/content/ads/ads-info/
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!
? fRoots is truly
independent. We're not owned by a publishing house who call the shots.
? We are experienced!
We have some of the most expert and informed writers, and our Editor has done a
fair bit too! (Take a look at his web site if
you're not aware of his background!)
? 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
? All fRoots print
magazine subscribers also have 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
