Back in 2019 the #WOMADelaide festival hosted Oliver Grossetête, a Marseille based artist who specialises in 'box art'. They constructed an amazing cylidrical tower. I snuck inside and took this photo looking up at the sky, with all the reflections of the tape it looked like a portal to another world.

#womadelaide feels like it's in a poultry battery. I'm not against using animal products, per se, but the use of them in this manner, where they become waste within seconds of use, for the most trivial of purposes, seems not only antithetical to the philosophy of #womad, but also anti-animal-rights and a celebration of the human conquest of nature

#NowPlaying #Hot8BrassBand big fan since caught them at #womad some years back. These guys know how to party 💥

Qué ganas de #WOMAD y qué pena que creo que no voy a poder ir este año 🥲

Very happy with first wave of WOMAD line-up announcements!

Femi Kuti! Mariza! Bombay Bicycle Club! Kate Rusby! Amaraterra! The Comet Is Coming! Snapped Ankles! Lokkhi Terra! Dele Sosimi! Dakh Daughters! Kathryn Joseph! Mesadorm! Taxi Kebab! And loads of new favourite bands to discover!

Always one of the best weekends of the summer with an ever fascinating and eclectic line-up!

This is Robert Forster with Go-Betweens at Womad 1985 on Mersea Island. Australian singer-songwriter, guitarist and music critic. In December 1977 he co-founded an indie rock group, The Go-Betweens. https://www.picfair.com/pics/010352985-robert-forster I wonder why I only got Robert Forster. Maybe wrong angle and not full band.

Some news for those of you in Aotearoa - the programme for WOMAD 2023 has been announced (and i'll be in the OMV STEAM tent on the Sunday!) https://www.undertheradar.co.nz/news/20340/WOMAD-New-Zealand-2023-Stage-Schedule-Announced.utr #science #ScienceMastodon #scicomm #festival #womad #worldmusic

Pronto escribiré en el blog sobre ello, pero ya se saben también las fechas del #WOMAD de Cáceres. Qué alegría que este festival se siga celebrando.

Once again going through my 2013 iPad, and playing the tunes I was listening to back then. I found this much older tune by Peter Gabriel with Sinéad O'Connor. I got to see them when #WOMAD came through here around '89. It was when she was getting a lot of crap for her SNL appearance and he castigated the fools who booed her. Despite that, great show, and she won over the crowd, too!

A Christmas present which was unfortunately out of date so getting it drunk on the first sunny day! I make a pretty good Damson #Cider myself so this has a lot to live up to. A lovely nose of apple promises much. It is VERY dry which I like, but also has the modern trend for ultra sweet which I do not. It's perfectly drinkable and I'd really enjoy it in 40 degree summer heat at #WOMAD. As the sun sets on the 6th Jan, perhaps not so perfect.

Ticket for WOMAD 2023 in the big! Looking forward to seeing all the amazing bands, and @nigenet!
Hopefully a few more of the Bird Site gang will have migrated over here by then too!
