I've just bought my Greenbelt ticket!
We're also planning on going to WOMAD later this month - really looking forward to that, very much. HD is a WOMAD regular, but I've only been once before, in the mid-90s, for just a day, when it was at Reading (now it's somewhere in the West country apparently). The bands that I remember from last time were Shooglenifty (still going strong - we saw them at Celtic Connections last year and they were still brilliant) and the AfroCelt Sound System. There's one person I've seen before on this year's line-up (Johnny Kalsi - also seen at Celtic Connections) and a few acts that I'm really keen to see (amongst them Paprika Balkanicus, Martha Wainwright and Orchestra Baobab, and probably the ceilidh as well which features all sorts of interesting people including Shane McGowan), but mostly I'm looking forward to just dropping in on something I've never heard of and discovering lots of new stuff. Hooray!
