  • The paid-for PDF is for Folklife West including these FT pages, but just the FT pages are free!​

Online; you can access FT online, by downloading PDFs. For earlier issues, we did also have e-magazines but we're now having problems with that format.
So, from Jan 2019 issue, you can download a PDF from the "Issues Index" page.
Additionally, for the current issue only, copies of the pages are shown on this ​"This issue online" page.

​
Please see the Team page on the Folklife site, www.folklife.uk/team.html, for all those involved in FW.
And specifically for our Folklife Traditions pages in Folklife West,
we are regularly indebted to Doc Rowe for his list & pictures, to Roy & Leslie Adkins for articles, to Helen Adams  for Welsh tunes & notes, to Ian Pittaway for occasional articles; to Charles Menteith and to Gwilym Davies for songs with notes; and to others from time to time, as listed in FT, including Meurig Williams  for articles on Welsh traditional music.
In memory of Roy Palmer, left, a generous contributor of researched articles for our Folklife Traditions pages, freely donated for over 30 years, from the days of FW’s predecessor, the Somers’ Broadsheet, Aug 1983, to 2014.

sending in articles from researchers, folklife societies & institutions, such as are listed in
​our Folklife Traditions Directory pages on this site, see Contact & Contribute webpage

Our readers

The sort of people who might well be interested but just don't know about you.
Whilst we do have members who are e.g. members of TSF, EFDSS, etc, and know all about what you do ...
... many readers are not in any sort of organisation, and most also will not have academic library access.
This does not mean they are not interested !!

Accordingly, contributions do not have to be original - they could be cut and pasted from your existing web article(s).
If you look at the Index: ISSUES on this site, the Folklife Traditions pages within Folklife West magazine, - an index of all FT issues, which gives a flavour of what we do - links to all FT issues in e-mag format.  
Publicising your books.
We are unlikely to have time for reviews.
Instead, you are welcome to send in a synopsis, up to 200 words,
more if advertising: 1/16 250 words;  1/8 275;  1/4 300;  1/2 350;  A4 450 words.
Word limits are for the text, we do not count book title & details of price, publishers, ISBN
Word limits may be exceeeded if we think the material particularly relevant to our readers.
Book cover image (jpeg/.jpg) is also welcome.

Sample full-page article;  note about using Word footnotes;  advertising details -  see Contact & Contribute webpage
