Nepalese folk music is one of those ancient musical traditions from Asia with a spellbinding power over anyone’s ears. The weaving and tender melodies voice the Himalayan breeze and nature all around. The harmonization of wind and string instruments forges unique compositions, floating between Nepalese verdant landscapes and anywhere else...

A pop-star concert is not your average gig, even less so when that pop-star is Asia’s biggest singer, rapper, songwriter, producer, and fashion icon, G-Dragon, on his first European tour. At 5:30pm on Sunday 24th September, the queues stretching all along the sides of the SSE Arena in Wembley were...
