Taste the World

Posted by on in Events, Festivals, Food

I’d never been to the Taste The World tent at WOMAD properly before, so this was a bit of a new experience for me, and it was really good. To the point where I’d like to get hold of some of the recipes actually. Not that I can find them on the WOMAD site as yet, so I hope they haven’t been taken down already.

I thought it was a great idea to get some of the artists showing their favourite recipes and how to make them, and next time I’m at WOMAD I’ll certainly give it a go again.

St Austell Brewery Tour

I’m a sucker for a good brewery tour, and this one was very good indeed. Great tour, great guide, lots of things to taste at the end. What could be better?

The Portico Quartet Live

Posted by on in Creative Process, Music

This was the most inspiring performance of WOMAD this year. The Portico Quartet were amazing, their ability to improvise and produce intricate cross rhythms was absolutely brilliant.

It was great to see them and it made me rethink what I’m doing musically.
