The UK Gamelan Network

The UK Gamelan Network was set up in 1993 to produce Seleh Notes, a hard copy magazine on gamelan and related performing arts.

Seleh Notes was published for 15 years, and the website includes a number of articles which originally appeared there. Back issues are also available and we have full details of how to order these.
