Place. Accompanied by Bobby Wiseman, Siberry will give an acoustic

 Siberry has just returned from the Britain, (sic - NK) where she
completed work on her next album (due in January, 1993) with producer
Brian Eno. While in Britain, she was invited by WOMAD sounder (sic,
probably "founder" - NK) and board member Peter Gabrieal (sic - NK) to
play WOMAD's 10th anniversary concert in Blackheath, England (the
first of the WOMAD's 17 venues around the world), and to participate
in the RealWorld Recording Week at Gabriel's studio in Box, England.
 That compilation album, produced annually by Gabriel, will this year
feature such WOMAD artists as Alison Moyet, Bob Geldof, Kirsty
MacColl, Robbie Robertson, Papa Wemba, the Pogues, Sheila Chandra and
Jah Wobble.
