View Article  WOMAD drumming in the mud
Just got back from WOMAD 2007, Our tenth WOMAD running drumcircles.
Logistical problems were paramount. Mud everywhere, no vehicles moving on site so the normal drumcircle was just not possible.Couldn't get the drums there and they would have been destroyed by mud , oh and there were no chairs because they were on the other side of the site.
Anyway we agreed to get everything we could personally carry from our van and see what we could do. We still managed to occupy two hundred people with soundshapes and hand percussion and really enjoyed it.
If you were there tell us how it was for you.
Two main songs were Fanga and Eh Away.
MP3 of Eh Away is here
Did you take  any photos? email them to me and I will post them up.
