It was a completely awesome place, and I saw Biscuit Head and the Biscuit Badgers there!

A great world music festival
The Portico Quartet Live
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.
A QR code on a frame drum?
I went along to a workshop at WOMAD this year and I had to get a shot of this frame drum with a QR code on it. What a great idea!
Yes, that is a large polar bear
But that’s what you need sometimes to alert people to a real problem. Well done greenpeace.
Home (during WOMAD)
I bought this tent as my last 2 man pop up tent had really gone beyond what I could expect from it, so this 3 man replaced it, and I have to say that I’ve been really pleased with it. It has loads of space and was just great during WOMAD. It’s slightly more complex to put away than the other pop up tents I’ve had, but even so it only took a few minutes to get it packed away.
WOMAD. Yes, 30 years and still great
I had a great time at WOMAD this year. It was a good time to relax and reflect on what’s been a very busy year indeed. More thoughts on this over the next few days.
WOMAD
Even though I only managed to get there for a day this year it was still brilliant. And whilst the programme will end up in the recycling bin in due course it still serves as a reminder of a great day out.
Of course next year is the 30th anniversary of WOMAD, so I hope / plan to be there for a the whole weekend. I bet it will be awesome.
Oi Va Voi at WOMAD
Since I heard their first album I’ve been a fan of Oi Va Voi and it was great to see them at WOMAD this year. They were fantastic live, a great band to watch. I hope they do another album soon.
And yet more flowers
I think that this is a better shot of the flowers from WOMAD.
A stranger flower
More from WOMAD at the weekend.
