This is a Gig Guide for worldwide, global, acoustic and folk music (whatever each of these terms means) in the Melbourne 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 member. Your support is also needed for the PBS 'Make It Home' appeal; we've now moved into our new studios at the Collingwood Yards, but still need your financial support to finish off the refurbishment. See: https://www.pbsfm.org.au/news/make-it-home 

How about a New Year gift or resolution for the Global Village and PBS: your membership and/or a donation!
