Fried Hungarian Bread...


and Kiwi beer, flags in the park and the crowd going off to Monglian Rock and 17 Hippies from Berlin can only mean one thing...WOMAD.

For the the last 2 years I have watching people eat this bread at the festival but the queue is legendary so when I arrived after work on Friday and saw that it was only 10 or so people long I jumped in and finally got the chance to try it. Now I know why you would wait for an age to get some!

And who knew there was such a thing as Mongolian rock music, tradition instruments and outfits (minus the fur hats) plus bass guitar and drums, fabulous stuff! The 'life's rich tapestry' award goes to the Inuit throat singer. I can't even begin to describe it but for some it will be meaningful that she has sung with Bjork - nuf said.
