Appalachian singing, music and ?crankie' visuals. We've got pieces on two UK
veterans, guitar legend Martin
Simpson who has just released what is possibly his best album,
and squeezebox wizard John
Kirkpatrick. Plus: more duos - The Be Good Tanyas' Jolie Holland & Samantha
Parton are back as one, and Taj Mahal & Keb Mo and House And Land

a major part of the UK folk scene; interviews with Welsh guitarist Toby Hay, radical

sections, our regular columnists Tim Chipping and Elizabeth Kinder, BIFF and
all the rest?

the shopping area!

RADIO RADIO!
We hope you're in the habit of
listening to our monthly fRoots
Radio podcast. It's usually around 75 minutes long including
something from every one of our favourite new albums in the Page 5 Playlist
chart, plus more delights from artists featured in the latest issue or chosen
by presenter (and fRoots
Ed.) Ian Anderson. If you like what we cover in fRoots, there's nowhere else on the
wireless or web that you can guarantee to hear all this.
There's a new edition live at Podomatic and Mixcloud, and you can find all the
playlists and links at podwireless.com
If you're a first-timer and like what you hear, you can find the last two
year's worth archived too.
