A compilation of short video clips taken at WOMAD UK 2022. Inevitably at all festivals, there will be clashes, making it difficult to see everyone you wanted to see, on a couple of occasions, I think I made the wrong choice, there are few star performers that I now regret not seeing. Even at a relatively small festival like WOMAD where the distances are not that great, it still sometimes easier to stay where you are, rather than rush off to another stage to catch at least something of another group,. However, I still saw some fantastic acts. I only take fairly short sequences of video, I don't video entire songs, I enjoy taking photos and videos, but that's only a small part of why I go to WOMAD, I'm there to enjoy the music.
