Stanley Clarke - Definitive Collection - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It was a simple idea; to create a festival out of all the brilliant music and art made all over the world, stuff made outside of the mainstream - music that wasn't getting on the radio and was even harder to find in record stores...... The very first WOMAD Festival took place at the 240-acre Bath and West Showground, Somerset over the weekend of 16-18 July, 1982. With the dream 'not to sprinkle world music around a rock festival, but to prove that these great artists could be headliners in their own right', the three days and five stages played host to 60 bands from over 20 countries; a line-up that included The Drummers of Burundi, Pigbag, Salsa de Hoy, Simple Minds, Musicians of the Nile, Echo and the Bunnymen, Prince Nico Mbarga, Rip, Rig and Panic, The Beat and many more... InchI remember this gig well,Inch says Peter Gabriel. InchWe played a mix of old and brand-new material. I would normally be very nervous about playing some of this stuff for the first time, however my mind was very preoccupied with the running of our very first WOMAD festival and the potential financial disaster that it was heading towards. Because WOMAD was unique in it's focus on music and art from around the world, and mixing it with up with rock and jazz, no-one knew how many people might turn up and we had seriously overestimated our appeal. But those that had decided to check out WOMAD and it's weird and wonderful lineup were open-minded, bold and curious - a great audience. It was a landmark and edgy gig for me both personally and musically and brings back lots of memories.Inch Across the three days 'an evening concert series' took place in the Showering Pavilion on the festival site. On the Friday night that concert featured Tian Jin (a song and dance troupe from China), Simple Minds and, with a 'special festival set of non-album material', Peter Gabriel. Live at WOMAD 1982 is a record
