Show Notes
It's that time of year again, when we kick out the jams and the Folk Music Hour gets a bit loud as we preview some of the amazing sounds coming to Brooklands Park in New Plymouth, for the 22nd NZ WOMAD, World of Music, Art, and Dance. As always, the lineup gives us the chance to enjoy cultures not represented at other music festivals.
