A weekend in the country
Unwanted tickets for WOMAD have been brandished and so we’re off to sunny Wiltshire for the weekend. Squeeze, Chic, Billy Cobham, and Mavis Staples are all on the menu (unfortunately we’re arriving to late to see the mighty Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry). Hopefully those ace curried new potatoes they had last year will be on as well.
Anybody else going? Drop me an email if you are. The festival site has wi-fi access this year so I’m taking the little laptop. Might even try a bit of open air blogging.

Jah Wobble, Karl Wallinger, Mavis Staples, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Shane McGowan, the Tashi Lhunpo Monks, Peter Gabriel, Transglobal Underground and the lovely Cara Dillon.
Sounds like a great line-up. Enjoy!
Oh, and Toumani Diabaté would be well worth catching.
Have fun indeed. I’d be tempted to check out this guy too.
I’ve been for the past two years but unable to make it this time.
I read that some of the artists are having visa problems. Again.
Sadly I’ve only read this on getting back from WOMAD - otherwise would have tried to say hello. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
