ABOUT US

Rhythm Passport is the result of over a year and half's worth of hard work, driven by a passion for world music. The intention was to build a community of people who are interested in music from around the world, whether it be a sit-down traditional Indian concert or a banging world beats club night. Rhythm Passport is a place where people can promote their own UK based events or share their knowledge of upcoming events.

Please encourage anyone you know artists, promoters, venues, etc. to get involved and add their events. The content of this site is driven by the users so the more the word gets out the more access we will all have to going to wonderful events.
