Oh yes, the festival season continues!!!
You can probably tell I love them. So far, we’ve had Wychwood, Paradise Gardens and Glastonbury. This weekend myself, Nerm and Sonny Ji head to one of my favourite festivals, WOMAD!!
WOMAD stands for ‘World of Music, Arts and Dance’ the festival features an inspiring mix of ancient and modern, where centuries-old traditional music might easily sit side-by-side with the latest club sounds. Since 1982, WOMAD has presented more than 150 festivals around the world and this weekend will be it’s 25th Anniversary and to celebrate this, WOMAD have moved from the Rivermead Centre in Reading to the glorious countryside of Wiltshire. Each festival over the years has introduced a rich variety of artists from many countries, some world famous, others virtually unknown outside their own locality.

Many artists are given different tags lines during their careers. Some more justified than others. If there ever was on artist who deserves his tags, it’s ‘The Music Man’, ‘The Musician’s Musician’…Sukshinder Shinda!.
If an album title ever fitted the artist, this is the one. Sukshinder Shinda really is Living The Dream and he has not changed who he is, what he does and what he believes in musically, which is why he has transcended to another level in the eyes of his peers and the public
