WO ... 'we are most definitely ... MAD!?*'

Y’d have thought that we’d have been past it,
At the ripe old age of 35,
But in fact we’d like nothing better,
To remind us that we’re still alive,
To take the kids too – would be something,
We know that they’d love it so much,
A music and dancing adventure,
To keep their mad parents in touch!

I'd like to win tickets for my friend Jo and her partner. She has been given a year to live as she has lymph, liver and stomach cancer. She really wants to go to a festival.

WOMAD is the best festival in the UK. In the past few years there has been an influx of festivals but none can beat the WOMAD. The atmosphere is friendly and safe for grownups and kids too. World music showing the best of the best. The recession is bitting and I cannot afford the price. Please send me the tickets.

Would love to go as I have never been to a festival before and I am sure it is one of the things I must do before I die.

As a self-confessed foody, I find the 'food from over 40 different countries' one helluva draw - oh, did someone mention music, too? Oh to be part of such a great event.

It's a wonderful small world when Womad comes to town.
A chance to meet, dance and listen to the magic global sound.
For as much as I love travelling to sample music, life and light,
I don't enjoy the footprints I leave behind in flight.
So bring the world to us at Womad (and bring the sunshine too),
Where our heartbeats and the drumming combine as one and two.
And when all is drawing to a close, the rhythm still coursing through our blood,
let us depart with happy memories
and leave only footprints in the mud!

Please can we go? Two of our chickens love Irish Ceilidh and the third is a huge Martha Wainwright fan. We can leave the cat at the puppet making workshop while we enjoy the food, real ale and atmosphere and give away free morsbags to everyone who smiles.

Womad festival sounds amazing and I have some aliens visiting me that weekend so it would be great to showcase the worlds music to them so that they do not destroy earth or probe me.

Can still have fun,
So send us the tickets
And say we have won!
We'll dance and we'll sing
For as long as we can,
Then drop off to sleep in our ancient old van,
Happy as Larry we'll
Sleep the night through
It's really amazing
What old folks can do!

Now I think perhaps I would
Like to kick over the traces,
Hearing music in the mud,
Tasting food from forty places
Now that Freedom's just begun, 60 is the time for fun.

I'd Love to go to WOMAD,
my lack of festivals I'd like to amend,
My two best friends are going,
But due to funds I cant attend,

I'd love to go to WOMAD
I work the allotments daily you see ,
But these weeds,...... these weeds... they keep on growing, they drive me around the bend.
Please if you could rescue me, I'd really love to attend!

I'd love to go to WOMAD,
to get away and chill,
to dance away to the funky sounds,
and loose myself in the mixed happy crowds.

I'd Love to go to WOMAD,
Far away from the mud and the weeds,
Sampling foods from all around
munching with satisfaction that it isn't from my claggy ground.

I'd love to go to WOMAD,
and ceilidh with the best,
those global sounds, and drumming beat
It would be such a lovely rest.

Wild Over Music And Dance - describes my belly dancing gothlette of a daughter to a tee. And after the year she's had - exams and the sad loss of a friend, this would be perfect for her.
