WOMAD festival weekend, Charton Park, UK

We had a great time this weekend, at the WOMAD festival , just a mile or so from home. We heard some great music, and had a fun time with the teardrop.
We arrived on Thursday morning, good and early, and received loads of attention over the weekend. There aren't many 'custom trailers' over here, but I think our numbers will be growing. We lost count of how many tours we must have done.

We were pitched on the end of the row, in front of Charlton Park House.

We had a fair amount of rain on Sunday. The roadway turned a bit sloppy in true festival fashion. Even the plod were wearing wellys.

What a great country retreat. I'm talking about the trailer of course. :lol:

Well who played? Does Gabriel still attend and play at the shows?

It was a bit of an obsure line up , including the big soul man Soloman Burke.
Peter Gabriel played , but he doesn't always.

There was a great mix of world music, some great aboriginal stuff with digerydoos. Charlie Winston was great, and my favorite band was Deaf Shepard... a Scotish folk group, complete with pipes , bodran and fiddles. Good jiggin music.
