My journey started with a phone call, ‘Would you like tickets for WOMAD?’‘
Who are WOMAD – are they a tribute band to Bob Marley?’ (No Womad No cry!)
I’m put in my place and told WOMAD is the World of Music and Dance, a 3 day festival which takes place in the UK every year, with 2007 being the 25th anniversary. It’s a daunting prospect,
I’m about to lose my festival virginity to WOMAD.
How do I dress? What do I take? I’m a creature of habit.
I like my own bed, my own pillow and most importantly I like my own ‘house of office’. The thought of sitting on a loo where a thousand other people have sat before me is terrifying.
An Indian filmmaker is remaking Casablanca, swapping the Rick's Cafe of the Oscar-winning classic for a restaurant in south India, and the World War II backdrop for the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka.
