Global Village Gig Guide
This is a Gig Guide for worldwide, global, acoustic and folk music (whatever each of these terms means) in the Melbourne/Naarm and nearby areas. It is provided through the Global Village radio program, heard on Sundays 5-7 pm on Melbourne station PBS 106.7 FM, digital and streaming on-line.
If you use this Gig Guide, please support PBS 106.7 FM by becoming a PBS Member. Full details are at: JOIN NOW!
NOTE: Though I'm now home from hospital, I'm limited as to the amount of time I should spend on this computer, so this Gig Guide will only be updated sporadically until I fully recuperate. No thoughts, prayers and flowers please; just become a PBS member and support the Global Village - as above.
