1. WOMAD FESTIVAL
The womad festival experienc
e is not about the familiar, the
tried
and tested; its essence is in
the discovery and enjoyment
of a
totally unexpected artist or a
style of music which would ne
ver
otherwise have been encoun
tered. It's a magical, musical
melting
pot, enriching all who experie
nce it.

4. D is a great family
“WOMA
orientated event.
“From the outset when we started in 1980 we really wanted to include kids, so part of the
aim for Womad was to introduce a lot of music. If we can teach them about some of the
joys of the world then it’s a wonderful thing. It’s like with food, if you don’t let them eat
different things, they won’t like things that are strange and foreign!”
