I dont recognise anyone on the Bowers & Wilkins list - struggling a bit this year. Been spotifying but have found very few must-sees - Amazones Afrique, John Grant, Le vent du Nord, This is the Kit, Baaba Maal, Anoushka Shankir, The Grit Orchestra, King Creosote , Lula Pena, The East Pointers, Twelfth Day ( more than I thought now I list them!) but we are finding the new Womad website awful - no list of artists, no search, stupid countdown bar always in the way so it's a challenge to work out who's there and who to listen to next when it comes to new bands we haven't heard before. I know we will make lots of discoveries though ....but there's no Cajun again! Is there any drumming? Moan over! We will love it when we get there!

I'm hoping the new website redeems itself pretty quickly, Dorset Helen - previous years have been far better for artist, timetable and stage sortings. I expected the B&W announcments to make abig impact on my must sees, but it hasn't - a relief, I confess, as, barring clashes, there's plenty on our list already. There are more announcements to be made for B&W though, so this could still change!

I'll update the alpha list as more announcements are made, though am keeping this to Open Air, Siam, Big Red, B&W, Eco, R3&CG. Once complete, I'll do by day. If anyone wants to pick up the rest of the stages, please do!

But there's no Cajun again! Is there any drumming? For drumming, check out Chouk Bwa Libete and Noreummachi, or make your own! And as for no cajun, there's no qawwali or kwela or maloya or Pacific Island music either. We can't have everything! So we have to settle for most things every so often  |

Almost impossible to use - the count down bar moves up and down the middle, obscuring it - boxes are too big, you just scroll up and down lost track, just want a simple list. I thought there was a day by day list but I can't find it. BUT...they have now added a 'remove countdown bar' cross which I am sure wasn't there before . I still find the new site more gloss than substance. |

The artists on the Artists page don't appear to be in any specific order, and the pictures take up far too much room. What I'd like to see is a list separated by day, from where you can select an artist for more details. Hopefully we will get something like this when the timetable comes out (next week?) And as for the countdown, yes you can close it, but the blooming thing keep reappearing!  (After all, we don't need it - we have our own! ) |

My pleasure, Rendrags Thing is, Womad had this cracked a couple of years ago; someone has had this all covered - we were able to sort the line up list every which way which was extremely useful for those of us who enjoy making our plans. And I always pick up a souvenir programme; our timetable is aswell as, not instead of. H uses the app, but it isn't always easy to read a screen and, besides, we want to keep our heads up, enjoing the flags rather than bowed over technology! |
