Part one of a three part series looking at artists performing at WOMAD - Charlton Park 2010
Welcome to another round the world music adventure with Melstar in the hotseat taking a look at some of the artists performing at this year's WOMAD festival. Click here for the WOMAD 2010 timetable. With so much music going on this year Mel finds herself in a complete spin and forgets an album of the week...but hey so much music such little time, it would have been impossible to fit one in.
Hope you hear something you enjoy.
