Upcoming festivals

No Glastonbury this year, as we decided to try something new, and I really wanted to attend WOMAD. Then I discovered that Manu Chao was playing at Lovebox in London, so we are going there as well, but just for one day. So, down to London next Saturday, and cycling to Malmesbury the weekend after next.

Performances I would like to see at WOMAD:


Bedouin Jerry Can Band
Rumberos de Cuba
Sabar Drumming with Modou Diouf
Toumani Diabaté
Lo Còr De La Plana
Rachid Taha
Babylon Circus
Afro-Cuban Drumming with Jose Ferrera
Hamid Baroudi
Monobloco
Wasis Diop
Hotel Palindrone
Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba
Djembe Dance with Landing Mané
Filhos de Angola
Orchestra Baobab (they were brilliant at Warwick Arts Centre last year!)
Son de la Frontera

I hope there are not too many clashes!
