Locus festival is a brilliant free music event now in it’s 11th year. It takes place in the tiny but gorgeous town of Locorotondo in Puglia, a region in southern Italy. Sitting above the plain around it, the view from this white-painted town is a perfect backdrop to drink some of their famous wines and […]
Read More...The Netherlands is a great country for visitors. It’s modern, full of art, easy to get around, and has such an interesting culture, quite different to that of it’s neighbours.

Read More...The live music scene in Northern Ireland is not as famous as the one in the southern part of the island and has perhaps been a bit underrated over the years. But, you need to remember, this is the city that gave rise to the legend of Van Morrison and, more recently, bands like Snow […]
Read More...To call Wilderness a music festival is to undersell it. Yes, there are stages with music, but that is hardly the focus.

It’s a time for all of Rotterdam to come out, join together and celebrate their history as a port city. That’s how they sell Wereldhavendagen – or World Port Days Festival – to you. It’s all about […]

Read More...In what has to be one of the most beautiful festivals in Europe, the picturesque city of Birgu sets its walls and walkways alight with thousands upon thousands of candles each year at Birgufest.
Read More...As I was editing my photos from MS Dockville festival in Hamburg, I noticed a common theme among many of the photos I took; smiling faces.
