It's not world music, but it's a great selection of events, from 1st - 11th July. Highlights could possibly be squeeezing in to Rony Robinson's loft for a night of Dylan ( Bob that is), The Djangonauts brand of Gypsy Swing, part of a Jazz night at the Fleur de Lys on the 5th and the ever entertaining Bob Hall at the Crown. Full details read on or check the Totley Website.

The Sharrow Festival runs from 20th June to 4th July this year, culminating in a day event at Mount Pleasant Park with many fringe events organised in between. Amongst the music acts booked for the day are: Sajid Ahmed Khan Qawwali Group, Abelwell reggae band and Robert Maseko and his Congo Beats plus local bands, Mojo and the Beatniks and the Nazdrove House band plus more.

WOMAD regulars will be familiar with the exuberent character of the late Dr Hukwe Zawose, master of traditional wagogo music from Tanzania. His children have picked up his mantle and ensure that his music lives on. Vibrant music, ostrich feathers, drums and thumb pianos. Rave reviews follow them around. A chance to see them in London as part of their 2009 tour.

Ahead of the release of their album Gran Bwa you can catch the Groan Box Boys in London - described by the Guardian as "similar to Uncle Dave Macon dancing on the tables in a Parisian cafe with Django Rienhardt and Clifton Chernier riffing in the background."
