Jo Durrant’s Beautiful Universe 27/10/2019

With the clocks going back, Jo is time travelling to 19th century Australia and a story that’s inspired a Forest of Dean writer.

Jo’s Festival Flashback also takes us to the Southern Hemisphere as she finds out about the voyages of Captain Cook, at the 2018 Cheltenham Literature Festival.

The next item going into Jo’s virtual museum is a piece of sheet music composed by Cheltenham’s Gustav Holst, inspired by Indian culture.
And Jo chats to Egyptologist Dr Chris Naunton about an exhibition of artefacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun that will be seen in this country for the last time.
