Please can we have some Blues - Joe Bonamassa would be great

He's in Town on 25th July (London) so it would be good to get him to play.

Forgot to include Ozmatli in my previous list - they would make a great headline act.

Also, The Imagined Village would be very welcome returnees - a great performance in 2007, and a new album out.

Kissmet for Womad 2010...

ChrisD4444 — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:10:57 +0000

I really like Kissmet. I saw them at Summer Sundae in Leicester a few years ago. I've never been to WOMAD before and I'm not any kind of puppet. I don't know how to prove that though. :-)

going back to JimHXn's post

when Ravi Shankar walked on in London, he said that it had been billed as his 'final' performance, but that he hoped that it would be more of a 'semi final'

having said that, he's not a young man. I feel privileged to have been able to hear him play the one time I have.

Park and Camp

happycamper — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:07:23 +0000

I'm with Retrac on this one - what's a few trips to and from the car , at your leisure , with the odd beverage break and natter with mates ?
Peter - get a bucket with a lid for the urgent toilet trip and empty it in a loo - much handier and a bit less environmental impact on the lovely Charlton Park !!!

Park and Camp

Peter2009 — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:54:44 +0000

We did park & camp last year.

Best things - access to car as a safe place for valuables (we were robbed at Reading in 2006), access to woods for urgent kiddy toilet trips, less claustrophobic than everywhere else.
Worst things - MASSIVE queues for toilets, long walk from arena.

We would do it again!

Would love Santana, and the recent stuff on BBC 4 made me think an afro cuban band would be great like La Exelencia.

Also was looking forward to Fat Freddy's Drop last year but they were cancelled. Could we have them this year instead, please?

Also a ska band but how about Jerry Dammers Spatial aka ORCHESTRA?

BRING BACK CLUB WOMAD

Sambadrummer — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:18:12 +0000

I too am a bit fed up with the gentrification of WOMAD...sadly miss the Club Womad stuff. Seems like DJ culture is now no longer given any stature. We too will be giving it a miss this year.
PD, I'll most likely see you at Beatherder and Solfest...back to the roots!

BRING BACK CLUB WOMAD

Purpledawn — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:39:44 +0000

I didn't enjoy the last festival. Sadly Womad lacks something, and after 13 years or so it really saddens me to say that. I won't be attending as I'm off to seek fun and adventures elsewhere. However, I've made some fantastic friends (you nerds know who you are), had some great times and have many very happy memories. Thanks Womad, but this year no thanks. Maybe in 2011? Maybe not.

Love to all my friends, hope to see you at a festival soon.

Anyone for Solfest and/or Beat-Herder?

PD aka CP :-X

Park and Camp

retrac — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:56:34 +0000

We park and camp EVERY year....that is, we park in a field and forget the car for four days and camp two fields away. Bliss. It's the only way.

Who's Kissmet? I thought it was a Curry takeaway. :-] :-]

What Happened To The USA?

stutzerelli — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:05:45 +0000

I was incredibly lucky enough to stumble upon WOMAD one year near Seattle. I had an AMAZING time. And that was my last opportunity. Does anybody know why WOMAD stopped coming to the USA? It's very disappointing to not get to be a part of this incredible event. I'm the type of person who loves taking people to these types of celebrations to expose them to new experiences. Now all we get is Nickelback. We're starving for real talent here. Please bring WOMAD back to the USA.
