Walky - after you bend Glasto to your will,
next have a go at telling WOMAD how wrong they are doing that sort of unpatriotic thing on British soil...


btw.. the first WOMAD at Shepton Mallet 1982 was the best, most joyous, and last big UK festival I've ever been to...
Though nearly 40 years later I now see the 2019 festival is promoting exclusive glamping areas for the rich poshos...

I've never actually liked huge festivals that much,
I prefer free community celebration fests..
There were loads of really good ones for the 15 years I lived in London.
..and for 10 years since I moved back home to the west country,
the Burnham on Sea free folk fest was the highlight of our summer
Shame that's gone RIP though...
Compare and contrast that kind of low key fun local experience
at one of the least loved lowest ranked UK seaside resorts,
to bloated over hyped nearby mythical Glastonbury....
or very middle class inaccessible for public transport Priddy folk festival...

Mind, it helped having a relative near Burnham who provided a free spare bedroom for the festival weekend...
