Online; you can access FT online, free, by downloading PDFs.
For the current issue only, copies of the print pages are shown on ​"FTJ this issue" webpage.
ALL ISSUES can now be downloaded as PDFs.​ 

ALSO read as E-MAGAZINES for EARLIER FTs, up to and including JANUARY 2018, FT 56.
For earlier issues, we had have e-magazines but we're now having problems with that format. So we added PDFs for earlier issues as well.
Issuu is an e-magazine format, which we relied on for years, till it suddenly wouldn't work when I tried to add to it... Still works for you reading FT 56 and earlier; you can't download from that site, only from this page as PDFs. So, if you go to our e-magazine site, https://issuu.com/traditions-uk, you will find a list of issues up to January 2018, FT 56 - all available as e-magazines to read online. We can't update that site, and sometimes says not available. 

Note on print vs online availability of articles and copyright pictures - Articles by Dave Jones and Charles Menteith are not available on Issuu.
Articles by Charles Menteith are being added to downloadable PDFs on this site. This is an ongoing process and not complete due to the problems of older magazines using Apple fonts that have been discontinued & converting to modern fonts before saving as PDFs. For individual articles, contact us, we may have a Pdf of article that we can send even if not on PDF below.
Articles by Dave Jones. Taken from his book The Roots of Welsh Border Morris, £5 by post from Annie Jones, see adverts in FT or contact us for Annie's details.
Additionally sometimes we have copyright restrictions; in one case, high-resolution permission granted for print, but low-resolution for web . . .

​Background notes from Editor, Sam Simmons: ​ [1] ​FWJ - Folkife West Journal.
Originally published separately to our Folk West, later Folklife West, FW magazine.
     This magazine, published by Folklife, was intended to continue the work of the former ‘Somers Journal’ published by the Somers Folk Club.
      It started as “Worcestershire Folklife: the Folklife West Journal, Nº. 1” in Sep. 2006, a special issue for Worcestershire, assisted by an Awards for All grant (covering 1 issue only). The contents included both ‘folklife’ and ‘folk club’ material.
     It was then published irregularly (due to lack of time and money) and over time, contents gradually became more focused on ‘folklife’, with ‘folk club’ elements (such as folk CDs) being transferred to our Folk West magazine.
Folklife West Journal (FWJ) name change to Folklife Traditions (FT), so "FWJ 8" was followed by "FT 9"

Within Folklife Quarterly pages, FWJ's folk-club material was moved out of FWJ pages to the main body of the Folklife Quarterly
