378.0. "WOMAD-WHATS HAPPENING IN 1989?" by CHEFS::TARRINGG () Tue Mar 21 1989 16:45

    Does anybody know if/ where WOMAD is going to be held this year.
    I went to BRACKNELL last year and it opened my eyes to a whole world
    of music i had been ignoring /rejecting.

(Is this really the only WOMAD note?!)

Well, who's got time to enter a report? Wish I had - still too knackered after 
going for all 3 days and trying not to miss anyone. If anyone's interested, 
I'll try and get something in in a day or two.

btw, it was all completely brilliant - highlight for me (just) Eddi Reader and 
the Patron Saints of Imperfection.

I'm hoping to make Friday and Sunday. I've got the brochure with the 
advertised names if anyone wants to know, but this will not be too accurate if 
it's anything like last year.
