Interested to find out about life behind the scenes at WPG? Our artists reflect on the WPG 2019 Spain and Portugal Tour.
"Using a cruise ship as a method of transport worked out extremely smoothly. The biggest takeaway from WPG was being able to meet percussionists, build connections and create ideas for future projects."
