? PUBLISHED: 22nd September. Reaches subscribers from around 16th September.

? It's our 400th issue - with a special celebratory feature full of tales and testimonials!
 
? On the front, we reckoned that it was about time that the talented Lucy Farrell - of the Emily Portman Trio, the Furrow Collective, Eliza Carthy's Wayward Band and much more - got a cover in her own right.

? This issue will also be in all the delegate bags at English Folk Expo, which this year includes a spotlight on Flemish Music. So we have a big feature on the current Flemish scene plus a unique free compilation album of the region's music.
 
? And lots more! The perfect issue for advertising autumn tours and album releases!

? See our web site for all rates and data.

WHY?PRINT STILL MATTERS!


? Quality print magazines are enjoying a rennaissance, the preferred tangible way to read, enjoy, assimilate and store in-depth writing, photography and information. They smell nice too . . .

? Whilst on-line advertisers are increasingly up against Ad blockers and fears of fraud, nobody can invent an Ad blocker for print advertising!


WHY?fROOTS?

? With less and less mainstream media coverage for this music, fRoots remains the essential grass roots independent 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.
 
? fRoots is hugely more comprehensive than any other magazine in its field, sometimes carrying more than double the in-depth feature content, news, reviews and original commissioned photography than its nearest competitor.

? 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.

? The only magazine to have won 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.



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 links.
