WOMAD (World Of Music And Dance) Aotearoa, which has been held in New Plymouth’s beautiful Brooklands Park since 2003, has been running for 22 years. The original WOMAD festival, co-founded by Peter Gabriel, took place in Shepton Mallet, UK in 1982.

Once again my daughter Emily and I made the pilgrimage to the New Plymouth (Ngāmotu), along with thousands of other whanau for three days of World music, kai and culture. And to take a few photos, too.

Here’s a selection of photos from this year’s 3 day festival. For the full review go here.
