WOMAD

• 

  Lots of good suggestions here.
  Gillian Welch and David Rawlings would make a completely superb addition to the festival. And if you can't get Taj Mahal - maybe Keb Mo... Some New Orleans based music would also be great. Dr John ?? or maybe that great English N.O. star John Cleary.

  On the Latin Front -- Gilberto Gill if he's still performing these days. Also how about some Cuban Jazz -- there's a hot pianist called Dayramir Gonzales (band is Habana Entrance) - who would tear the place down.

  I'd also personally like a recall on either or both of Jah Wobble and Soil and Pimp Sessions - who were both highlights for me when they played last year and the year before.

  And for the African contingent - yes Tinariwen would be top of my list for sure.

  Unfortunately the likes of Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen are I think a little beyond the means of Womad.

  But as ever -- it usually the acts that one has barely heard of that provide the real pleasure at WOMAD -- Feu Follet really did it for me this year.
