The Living Tradition is a bi-monthly music magazine published in the United Kingdom since 1993. It specialises in traditional folk music from the UK, Ireland and beyond.[1][2] The original editors were Peter and Heather Heywood.[2] In 2015 the editor was Fiona Heywood, and the magazine had a Scottish office in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire and an Irish office in Ardara, County Donegal.[3]
The magazine is regarded as "an independent and authoritative voice in the folk and traditional music scene"[1] and the "definitive guide to the traditional and folk music scene".[2] In addition to news, interviews, event listings and reviews, it also has articles about music theory and practice, and musicological and historical articles about traditional music.
In 2015, the magazine Fiddle On was merged into The Living Tradition. Fiddle On had been dedicated to fiddle-playing and had been published from Oxford for the previous fifteen years. Its editor Jed Mugford continues to write for The Living Tradition.[3]
