Herefordshire:  members' folk news
from FW, the Folklife West magazine, below

FW usually has 52 pages (very occasionally 48 or 56 pages), printed, A4-size.
​FW has 3 sections: News, as below; Listings; Folklife Traditions.
As much as possible - but not everything - will be copied online. It is a print magazine and it's not possible to exactly reproduce it online. Roughly 2/3rds - the area News & Listings pages - is on this site.

FW  is available at the
  • Folk Night at the Crown Inn,
  • Homend Poets & Musicians, Ledbury
  • (and other sessions when I visit)
  • FW sales:   discounts are available for resellers (6 or more, less than half-price) - see Info page

  • FW Library reference copy available in Hereford Library
  • "Folk What's On" (simply a leaflet made up of the ads from FW)  - free copies from Bromyard and Ledbury TICs; the council no longer distribute leaflets, so "Folk What's On" reference copies not available for Herefordshire Libraries
