Please give Steve Shehan a slot at WOMAD, what a talented guy he is. He was drummer/pecussionist for a few years with Paul Simon too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLbfFFALZso Pretty please :-]

Or maybe with his mate Nadashina? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP8LIfqMHdg&feature=related Good stuff or what, and pleasing on the eye too!! LOL. :-] :-]

Good call and great clips Sezzers. Love the demo ones with brushes and calabashes. I repeat: 'Baka Beyond' are excellent!

I second that!! :-]

Nice to hear - also from the other threads - that people enjoyed this year`s WOMAD. I think PG himself was very active for WOMAD in the last couple of years by playing twice there (2007 and 2009) with a full concert. It looks like there will be NO WOMAD in South-America this year - they mentioned Brazil somewhere in an article last year.

Maybe will it be replaced by a "new blood concert"? :-]

His name is Francisco: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhyrvn_HSaI

Since evryone seems to notice the pooreness of lyricists those days, maybe a writting work group should be organised during the 2010 Womad ?

Womad is the most chilled place around and many of us see Peter walking around with his family but respect him enough not to interfere with his Womad and we dont interupt his day. Would be good if he invited the loonies from this group who are at Womad to an informal meet up back stage somewhere over a coffee or a beer and we could exchange questions.

These guys are good and would be perfect for WOMAD "Baby Jolie" de H'sao http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs9Vt_KiKPU&feature=related H'Sao.-La vie est belle- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS-MllBezaI&feature=related French-Canadian Afro Pop

I think 2 well-known artists COULD appear on the list of performing artists for "WOMAD summer 2011 in England" , next year. 1.) Jimmy Cliff ("I can see clearly now"), currently supporting WITNESS. I am sure Peter will offer Jimmy the opportunity to play there. 2.) Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), recently performing live with Real World-artists "Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara". note: this is only my speculation for next year.

Please Peter can we have a "One to One" with yourself and John Metcalf at WOMAD this year with signing afterwards? Even better if it coincided with the release of the 3D DVD, or the CD. The one you did with Karl on the release of Big Blue Ball was a great success. Yes I remember it well, getting crushed by lunatics whilst scrabbling to get me stuff signed!! :-] :-] :-]

Still wish they would have an area where musicians could "Jam". A nice Red tent with Strawberries painted on it. Who knows what catchy tunes might come out of a "Strawberry Jam" session??!! Or even which famous musician or singer might pop in by surprise? Pie in the sky? I am a lunatic after all! :-]

it is already July 2011. . .

What has happened to the drum workshops this year?? 2010 was heaps better. Please Please Please more more more not less!

Yep the drum workshops were abismal this year. Thank God for the groovy guys at Chai Chapel, which was the place to be for workshops during the day, and the big boys coming out to play in the evening. Please please please better next year, where was the Dhol workshop and the middle eastern drum workshop, the samba workshop?? All of these were present on site but doing no workshops.
