Hello There Just came across Garden Sessions and wondered if anyone on here reads, or has heard of R2/Rock'n'Reel. This isn't intended as spam, as you can see by who we feature in the mag should be of interest to many here. Call it a public information broadcast!

Another bursting-at-the-seams edition includes interviews with UK rock music legend Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, who menacingly graces our cover. There’s Irish folk in the shape of The Chieftains, plus King Creosote, one of the most prolific members of Scotland’s Fence Collective. The early career of Acid-folk pioneers The Incredible String Band is re-examined with frontman Robin Williamson, while multi-cultural folk ten piece The Imagined Village talk about that difficult second album. Elsewhere you’ll find cutting-edge singer-songwriters in the shape of John Smith, blues maestro Coco Montoya and young pretender for the crown Dani Wilde, plus UK folk heavyweight Kris Drever as well as many more of the most happening acts on the roots, rock, blues, singer-songwriter, country and world music scenes … acts like Danny And The Champions Of The World, David Rovics, Chasing Pandora and Katriona Gilmore & Jamie Roberts. And we’ve all your regular favourites: the most extensive review section of any music magazine in the UK (check your wallet before reading; it can be an expensive pleasure); our First Takes round-up of hot new bands and exciting singer-songwriters; It Started With A Disc (R2’s writers remember where it all began); Open Mic, for which performers both famous and less so are placed under the spotlight as we ask them some pertinent questions. There’s our main-page and back-section news round-ups; the fascinating industry feedback of Inside Job; our Under The Influence and Venues We Love columns, plus new regulars Funny You Should Say That (humour, comment and opinion in a radical remix) and our new On The Road Again feature.
