Takin' a Break

Work commitments at the University of Wollongong mean I am not able to host the Gypsy Trail at 5PM on Mondays anymore. As such, the program will go on hiatus for a few weeks, until the Vox FM committee can find it a new timeslot. Forthcoming details will be posted here on the blog.

I hope you will join me again when the Gypsy Trail returns to the airwaves, and continue to enjoy the rich diversity of Romani music from the around the world. -Vince
