Don't sleep in the subway, fear the reaper, or pay the ferryman.

Once drove all the way from Brum to WOMAD, just off the motorway and ' you've got the tickets haven't you?' . . .'er, no'. Blazing hot, two round trips in a clapped-out Renault 5, pitched the tent by 8.30pm (having left originally at about 10.00am).

Remember, you will always be assured of a warm welcome in the Family camping area if you are kind enough to form an impromptu Bongo and Kazzoo ensemble at 3.00am, especially if you can offer your versions of the Spice Girls Greatest hits to the attentive and delighted crowd that will undoubtedly assemble. Imagine their delight if you are able to provide some kind of portable amplification.

last year, the noise of celebratory bongos etc was less annoying (ok ... it was fairly distant) than the sound of people staggering back in what are known as 'the small hours' falling over on top of a small tent nearby.
Personally, i favour a Mighty Boosh-style "I'm old Greg!" but only a few times, more than that and it's tedious

No, no. I want the Festival Chant to be "Chowder!" spoken like "Chow-derr" with the response being the "Show-derr" pronunciation. As seen in this Simpsons clip: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Za1JB9CEsjM |

Don't take glass into the arena. Seriously. People did.
Do decant your wine / spirits into plastic bottles. Sch* tonic bottles work nicely.
Enjoy!

Remember you'll have a GREAT time. Superclean toilets, great ambience, super (if pricey) food and great site layout. DON'T buy a newspaper form the General Store - last year the owner criminally (and we thought illegally) charged several times the face value of a newspaper! oh and DO be nice to the people in the Merchandise tent - they are lovely.

Also - the bonfire is fun.

Oh - thought of a wee tip - in advance of going, mooch around the Myspace sites of the bands you don't know about so you can plan who to see. And last year the Folkie Dokie tent got PACKED OUT at night so be aware of this when goimnng to catch the Headliney acts like King Creosote.
