Can I enter this? Or is there a rule against no staff?
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!
This festival looks like loads of fun and those tents – love them!
The quintessential music festival…What an amazing!! way to celebrate mine and my boyfriends 30th birthday’s..Would also make an amazing anniversary gift (10 years pretty good going!). xx
Looks awesome, please can I go?
I’ll second Ben’s ‘can staff win this!’ question?!?! Seriously though, from what I’ve heard it’s a great festival… whoever wins will have an awesome time!
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.
W e would love to go and
O ur new eco lantern
M eans ambient tent lighting

Obviously,for
Music
And

Womad – I’d love to go and dance my little socks off! My bro’s been several times so i’ve heard good things about it. I’d also like to take my sister who I know would love it, but is skint.
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.
I’m having a quarter-life crisis! All work, no play, never see friends, permanently skint. Please make me have some fun!
I would love to go to WOMAD!
hehehe… I called out at Bingo, only, I hadn’t won anything!!!
Creative comment don’t come easy,
when WOMAD is at stake,
and well the Superstore know it,
so here’s hoping for a mistake.
Wacky Old Men And Dames
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!

Has anyone ever been asked what a Womad is? 🙂
Oops, hit the wrong key on my keyboard there :-(. So here’s the remainder of my post :-)….
‘cos I want to go, so I can answer my pop quiz 🙂
“i have been to 2 different festivals in my life and enjoyed them, however WOMAD looks amazing and far better than what i have been too, so i would like to be luck enough to come and experience the fantastic surroundings, music,people and i could go on and on. so please please make me a lucky winner and make my year”
would love soooo much another opportunity to spend a warm summers night, listening to superb music, watching the flags blowing in the wind whilst i enjoy hot spicey cider, a definate must at womad! that experiance is the essence of summer.
A weekend of music and food and NO kids, sounds like heaven
Wife Offended. Must Apologise Dearly
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.
Im dancing if you’re asking!
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.
what a way to revive an exhausted teacher after the end of term – sounds like the best thing that could happen
hi
Theres only one thing to say about this festival diversity and at its very best, i would love to hear and see first hand cultural music thats not often gathered together in this way
To relax and enjoy the beauty of music
TO ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
We are keen town twinners and know that music is the ideal way to cross barriers of language, to enjoy each others` culture and to just make our world a better place. Well done, Womad!
would love for my gorgeous new daughter and her ‘festival virgin’ mum to experience the delight which is womad
I’v done so very many things
As my ife has unfurled
But I would love to go and hear
Music from round the world.
If I should win a ticket
Promise I wouldn’t go mad
For I would be in my element
At wonderful Womad!
Great looking festival!! Would love to go, hope Im lucky enough to win.
