you'd be mistaken for a really, really clever piece of ironic performance art.

Is there anywhere to park a Porsche, and would a pinstripe suit look out of place?

I suspect more greenies than labour, but yeah - lot of long haired hairy hippy types. You'd stand out like a sore thumb, then again I suspect you would at most festivals ;-)

Glad you're not coming.

i feel bad now, i'm just ribbing. hope you have fun.

on the subject of ridiculous alternative therapies though, the best one i ever saw advertised in North London was colourpuncture - it's like acupuncture, but instead of using needles, they shine little coloured torches on you. then you give them money.

crystal healing therapies, biodegradable feminine hygiene products, tedious music and nothing to eat but vegan filth. i've never been but this is how i imagine it.

Sounds like a hell place full of Guardian readers and Labour voters.

Should be interesting with two kids this year - especially one that can now run around and cause mischief ...

Weapons Of MAss Destruction ? Is it in Iraq?

It was so good that I haven't been to another one since, just in case it's a let down.

thats probably the same logic that explains why I only ever got one bj off of the missus

I went to the first WOMAD, in 1982. It was so good that I haven't been to another one since, just in case it's a let down.

Sounds like a great philosophy for life

the fact I keep going back with kids says it all really.

It surely does...

But seriously mate, have a great time. It could've been a venue for the CUK meet-up.

oh dear


Milan.

World of Music and Dance.

Dance? FFS, you scots fairy!

World music festival - not too much dancing apart from in the crowd that I've noticed (There are dance workshop thingies but I never go to them).

It's brilliant - if you like music, then WOMAD is superb. And it has the massive plus of not being a 'cool' festival, so IMO it's the last of the genuinely hippy type festivals left.

And it's incredibly family friendly, stuffed full of nice people who're just there for the music and not in a mad rush to get off their tits as quick as possible, with the nicest toilets you could imagine at a festival, I think they actually spend some money and hire the better ones!!

I've been to a tonne of festivals, and this is the best one in terms of overall atmosphere and setup, by a long way. My fifth WOMAD - twice so far with one kid - the fact I keep going back with kids says it all really.
