FINAL DEADLINE REMINDER : this Friday, 19th June

Subscribers will start to receive theirs from around 17th July. Street date is 23rd July.

Fresh from celebrating our 30th Anniversary, this is our special annual Aug/Sept double issue with another of our ultra-collectable fRoots CDs, on sale at all the key summer festivals like WOMAD (for which we are media sponsor), Cambridge, Sidmouth, Towersey etc.

It has been widely predicted that folk, roots and world music festivals will benefit this year as the recession causes cautious people to take less holidays abroad, and indeed many events are already reporting strong advance sales. Add to that the forecast for a hot UK summer and things look set for a buoyant festival season: that means that the year's biggest CD outlets should do good business. Give our ultra-keen readers a reminder of summer events they can still book for, and the CDs they have been intending to buy!

We are shortly launching a full digital edition of fRoots as an economic subscription alternative, especially of interest to overseas readers. We already have a full free-view demo version of the digital June issue viewable via our web site front page http://www.frootsmag.com and expect subscription service to commence in around 2 weeks time.

* If you have never seen a print edition of fRoots, check out this digital demo. It's identical!

"I doubt if the huge audience that now exists for world and roots music would be there if it weren't for fRoots." Joe Boyd
