fRoots Features Index
The suffix (RS) means it was one of our shorter Root Salad features which we introduced after issue 100; the suffix (SR) indicates that this was published when we were originally quarterly and called Southern Rag. Folk Roots monthly issue numbers ran consecutively from Southern Rag ones: the changeover took place at issue 25, July 1985. A * after the issue number indicates that this was the main cover feature.
Please note that:
- It has not yet been possible to index individual artists who appear in country or genre features (e.g. Malian Women, Madagascar Guitarists, Rembetika, Peru)
- We also have a Reviews Index.

We can supply photo copies of archive features from other issues which are no longer available for sale. The cost for this is £5.00 (postage inclusive) for the first feature, and £2.00 per additional feature. Cheques should be made payable to Southern Rag Ltd, or you can pay by Visa/ Mastercard/ JCB/ Switch. Print out this order form or copy the text and send it by email. US Dollars or Euros to Pounds - no problem! In the very rare cases where we do have a small number (too few to advertise as available for sale) of copies of the magazine itself in stock, we will send you the magazine.
