The UK offers far less protection than international standards. Ian discusses the serious ramifications for many financially strapped artists, and reducing the opportunities for today's new, innovative artists, and the health of the British recording industry. |

A NEW DAY, the independent JETHRO TULL magazine, was first published in
1985. The 78 issues 
published so far have included exclusive and exhaustive
interviews with almost every Tull member past and present, along with the
usual 'fanzine' essentials such as current and vintage press articles,
concert reviews and photos, hopefully tempered with a healthy degree of
irreverence and, like it says on the tin, independence.
Published approximately 4-5 times a year. Subscriptions can be bought
online at www.anewdayrecords.co.uk, where you will also find details of
A New Day Records. The ever expanding catalogue of fine CDs includes many
titles by Tull members (Clive Bunker, Mick Abrahams, Martin Barre and Maartin
Allcock) and several guest appearances by ex and current Tull members on
CDs by artists such as Vikki Clayton, Jackie Lynton and more.
