you've been missed JC & a welcome plug from TeamSaint for something other than LatiWomaditude. thanks both, I was thinking of starting a new thread called Tumbleweed...

Personally I preferred Fidan Hajiyeva, thought the sound balance was just right.
Anyone on here at this festival in 1970?

Thanks Global, I missed you too...I wasn't at that one...I was hitching with my pal on my way to Germany with a map of Europe the size of a fag packet and never quite got back for Joni at IOW.
By the way on 6 just now there's a guy called Colin Greenwood in for Jarvis who's playing a fine selection of South African stuff.

Know what you mean ts, but Dexys were on Later last year and were a lot better than I had expected, but Friday does look like a great line-up.
Lau continue to impress and I've been enjoying what I've heard of Carthy, Hardy et al.

...and from WOMAD this 'Loose Ends' from 4 Extra.

Thanks - that's a good review

Thanks - that's a good review

cheers, GT.

I made it all up from the beer tent though.
(the festival would benefit from a little more World music, which would go down SO well.....not many non white faces on stage or in the audiences.)

I'm guessing you caught this World Music master JC but just to make sure...

Just catching up with Private Passions & surprisingly, out of the blue Adam Nicolson chose at the end, a lovely track from Toumani Diabate & Ballake Sissoko...with a rather interesting justification via Homer.

Thanks G! That was 58 minutes very well spent indeed.

You'll also find a series of his Wet Handle shows on Radio 4 Extra at the moment.

Some of you may remember a certain Mr Paul Sherratt formerly of this forum - well he has recently suggested this show

http://radioactiveinternational.org/crackleton-manor-chapter-xxi/

which consists of elderly World Music.
Some of you may listen to it.
Some of you may enjoy it.
