Please join Gemma Dempsey each week as she virtually tours the world in search of interesting festivals and concerts. You may have heard of some of the events that she discovers, while others will be totally new to your ears. Why not make it your guide to global music events - and keep that passport handy - you may be tempted to turn the virtual into reality!
