WOMAD

  Nice one Ela. Did Seun take his shirt off? He did when he was last at Womad Charlton Park much to the liking of several young woman standing near me. I think it was 2009 and it was VERY hot (I am referring to the weather)

  Excellent news Ela - saw him last year on tour and he was brilliant (and he took his shirt off!). Would love to see him at WOMAD again.

  Yes he took his shirt off! It was nearly 80 degrees and very humid, he started off in a nice light blue button down dress shirt, but early on that shirt was soaked through, and he peeled that off, and the rest of the show was without a shirt. He is a fantastic looking guy! I'm not sure how to link photos here, but I do have some that I took with my phone. He has a tattoo across his shoulder blades, in large script it says " FELA LIVES". I tried to get a photo of that too, but he was in constant motion, so hard to catch at the right moment. One especially HOT moment was when he opened a water bottle and was dancing a spraying it all over himself and then came up to the edge of the stage and shook his head and all of us at the front got sprayed with water. Outdoor concerts in Florida are often very sweaty events, so we wear clothes expecting to look a mess at the end of the night. It's just the nature of the weather here, and add dancing to the mix and that's just how it is. My e-mail-Leswauger@comcast.net. If anyone wants me to send a few photos in this method I will. I think there's a good chance we'll see him at WOMAD, but no one gave a definitive answer. The tour manager wasn't available to speak with, but several of the guys said they know they are playing festivals in England in July, and thought WOMAD was one of them.

  Yes, not as good as when Solomon Burke took his top off though...

  ...hope it's not too soon?

  Now steady on, when I take my top off near water someone calls Greenpeace.

  Saw Raghu Dixit at OneFest yesterday (excellent) and chatted to band members afterwards who said 'Yes' when we asked if they were going to be at WOMAD this year...fingers crossed...

  Oops, sorry, Bassy, should have checked! Blame it on the excitement of going to the first festival of the year....booked to see them at QE Hall in London on Wednesday, performing with members of Bellowhead - should be excellent.
