Message to UK members, or anyone who will be in the UK in July :-

Anyone going to WOMAD this year? Not specifically a Kate event,  but
would be great to meet up with some other Kate fans there. If you don't
know WOMAD, it stand for World of Music Arts and Dance - usually there
are three stages with bands/singers/performers from all over the world
(mostly not standard rock/pop, more a focus on traditional music forms
from diffent cultures) . Free camping on fields alongside the Thames is
thrown in, along with hundreds of craft stalls and some of the best food
money can buy (not forgetting the beer tents). Peter Gabriel was
involved with setting up the festival, although he doesn't usually
perform these days as it would divert attention from the other
performers.

Dates: 	25th -27th July 97
Cost:	Around £50-£60

Give me a shout if you fancy meeting up, or if you want more info.

Love,	
	Mike
