The magical 1982 Genesis reunion with Peter Gabriel was actually to save him from crushing debt

This is interesting - but no line up yet!

A summer equivalent to Celtic Connections?!

Would that be an actual update to the WOMAD site confirming the dates for next year?

Website is still an overly busy mess mind.

Various Artists, The Best of Music and Rhythm, 1983 on PVC Records

Shortened single-LP version (there’s a 2xLP version as well, PVC 201) of a record released to commemorate and benefit the WOMAD festival (World of Music and Dance). Peter Gabriel founded WOMAD as an organization in 1980 and the 1982 festival was the first.

The festival for which this LP serves as a benefit was held at the Royal Bath and West Showground, near Shepton Mallet in Somerset, from Friday, July 16th, until Sunday, July 18th, 1982. The W.O.M.A.D. festival intended to focus wider public attention upon the traditional and contemporary arts of non-west cultures, as practiced in the U.K. and throughout the world.

Wonderful eclectic compilation including Gabriel, XTC, David Byrne, and the English Beat (credited as “The Beat” on the label, but “The English Beat” on the cover- it is a US pressing), along with Mighty Sparrow, Ekome, Prince Nico Mbarga, and Rico.

My copy via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA.

This morning's #workout #music is a 2004 concert from Peter Gabriel - the man's got quite a library to pull from indeed.
