Peter's doing the right thing and taking a month off from Full Moon updates in order to fully pursue his increased paternal responsibilities.

As you can see from our clip, time is flying past at Real World, so hopefully Peter will be back on Moon Club duty before you know it. We've grabbed a song- Ngadu Gwe from The Zawose Family's 'Small Things Fall From The Baobab Tree' CD to accompany the video and thank you for dropping by.

The Zawose Family are at The Edinburgh Festival this year:

Along with Children of the Khmer, who can also be seen at WOMAD Charlton Park this month:

Where Peter will be giving a talk with Karl Wallinger about Big Blue Ball, a record that brings us back to The Zawose's as it features the late lamented Dr Hukwe Zawose on the track Forest:

Peter talks about promoting Big Blue Ball by thinking round in Aachen, some musical highlights coming up at WOMAD, interviews for The Filter and the B&W Music Club, along with a welcome return for The Zawose Family and a first outing for Cambodian dance troop Children Of The Khmer at The Edinburgh Fringe. Excepts of Forest from Big Blue Ball complete the circle with the voice of Hukwe Zawose.
