PUBLISHED: 18th June. Reaches subscribers from around 11th June.

 

?  Another packed issue full of our typical variety. On the cover, the doyenne of English folk's twilight zone, Emily Portman. We've got an in-depth look at the world music diaspora in the UK, part two of our major 3-parter on the early days of the UK folk revival from 1962-65, a preview of Womad, features on award-winning trio Lau, Quebec's Le Vent Du Nord, fabulous Quantocks folk centre Halsway Manor ("Cecil Sharp House meets Hogwarts")? and that's just the bigger ones, we've got lots more!
 

 ?  We're heading into the height of the festival season. Don't miss the chance to make your event prominent in the ever more crowded calendar.

 

?  A great time to remind those festival goers of the latest CD releases by artists they'll see.

 

?  Look ahead to the autumn and the packed touring season: time to start promoting!

 

?  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.

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.
