Subject: fRoots October issue LATE COPY ALERT! Autumn already!

 

?  Summer's over - official! But it seems some of you didn't know that and were still on holiday! So we're giving you late returners a couple of extra days to get in

 

 

THE OCTOBER 2015 fROOTS

 

Issue 388 of the only indispensable folk, roots and world music magazine!

 

 

?  FINAL LATE COPY DEADLINE - this Friday, 14th August : email - ads_at_frootsmag_dot_com

 

 

 

 

PUBLISHED: 17th September. Reaches subscribers from around 10th September.

 

?  Rates & Specs: frootsmag.com/content/ads

 ?  It's time to get ready for the autumn and promote those forthcoming CD releases, autumn tour dates and new season venue programmes.


?  Our cover feature, doing what we do best (and what our readers value) enthuses about a wonderful left-field band - Oxford's Telling The Bees - who really deserve to be on everybody's radar. fRoots supports grass roots independents!
 

?  Reflecting that 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/

 

 

WOMEX ALERT!

? The following issue - November - will as usual have an extended print run to put copies in every Womex delegate bag. You may like to book a series of adverts starting this month so that you also get those Womex benefits PLUS a series discount!
 

 

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 has always been truly independent. We're not owned by a publishing house who call the shots and demand the same old ?big names' on the cover.

 

 ? 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 dozens of 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.

? We have desktop, laptop, iOS and Android tablet and mobile phone versions.
