2LP It was a simple idea; to create a festival out of all the brilliant music and art made all over the world, stuff made outside of the mainstream – music that wasn’t getting on the radio and was even harder to find in record stores… the very first WOMAD Festival took place at the 240-acre Bath and West Showground, Somerset, UK over the weekend of 16–18 July, 1982. With the dream ‘not to sprinkle world music around a rock festival, but to prove that these great artists could be headliners in their own right’. Live at WOMAD 1982' is a recording of that Friday night concert. The non-album material in question are seven of the eight songs that would make up the album 'Peter Gabriel 4' (Security). An album that wouldn’t be released for a further two months.On-stage, Peter is joined by David Rhodes (guitar), John Giblin (bass), Larry Fast (synthesisers). Jerry Marotta (drums), Peter Hammill (vocals) and “the wonderful Bristol-based drum and dance group,” Ekomé (drums, percussion).
