Journey of a Womad Virgin by Vimal Korpal

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.
 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.

On the menu are DJs ‘Nerm, Sunny Ji and Pathaan.
