Timetable

[standing stone]

The way our must sees have worked out this year, we'll be spending the vast majority of our time in the Arena; OA, Siam & CGR3 being our main hangouts, now conveniently next to eachother, so our ground coverage is expected to be greatly reduced.

Anyone else found a pattern in their plans?

We look to be spending most of our time at Ecotricity and Charlie G - except Saturday when we zig zag between Ecotricity and Siam all day. Only two possibles in Big Red and only two (Baaba Maal & John Grant) for main stage.

[digitalmonkey]

My Friday is almost entirely between Siam and Open with a break for Hot 8 in the Red and Dawn Penn at Bowers

Saturday is bit more chaotic with a number of visits to Eco spread out through the day

And checking out Sunday, I have something on everyone of the main stages - 3 Eco, 3 CG, 2 Siam, 1 Open,1 Red and 1 Bowers. Crikey, that's 11 acts. May be doing well to fit them all in although Cerys Matthews is the first one up

I've been looking - where did you see that timetabled SS?

PS I'm finally on the verge of booking tickets and excavating the camping gear from the garage. . . it would be great if I found a car in there as well. . .

Mr Beef, I'm sorry - I should have posted the links as I usually do; the trail started on Womad's retweet of Real World Records' tweet of the 25th:

So very pleased to hear your tickets have almost reached the printer, Mr Beef!

[beef]

Thanks SS - I probably missed it - the B&W times are bottom-to-top - only noticed when I saw the top one was 11pm. . . not am - I thought "what kind of turntables are they going to be using to play these albums in 30 minutes. . .?"

[Purpledawn]

Great stuff SS. I finally managed to get the Womad app to work on my phone but I had to uninstall the original and reinstall it. Works great now

Helen, Eco and Siam zig zag all day Saturday - that's a lot of walking! Extra hobnobs to keep your strength up! Will prob see you at R3CG at some point then

Might we see you at the front for Grit, Digital Monkey? Sunday is our most mixed stage day too

[standing stone]

Yes, upsidedown timetabling, Mr Beef! Will definitely be there for Passion (I confess, we've not heard it before, so this will be a treat to hear it for the first time on such a sound system; will prob buy CD after, if they still do CD's now.....) so may see you there; will recognise eachother if you've already been at the front for Grit

[standing stone]

Excellent, PD; you have more patience than me! -  still holding out hope that we'll finally meet someday!

[calndel]

Right that's enough WOMAD

just stop add so much great music and fun things to do and see

there are only so many bubbles in the world
