==History==
WOMAD was founded in 1980 by English rock musician Peter Gabriel, with Thomas Brooman, Bob Hooton, Mark Kidel, Stephen Pritchard, Martin Elbourne and (Jonathan Arthur ).〔Bright, Spencer: ''Peter Gabriel, an authorized biography'' (pp.180) , Pan 1999.〕〔Derek Beres, review of "Between Two Worlds", 2006. Accessed: http://www.globalrhythm.net/Film/BetweenTwoWorlds.cfm〕 The first WOMAD festival was in Shepton Mallet, UK in 1982. The audience saw Peter Gabriel, Don Cherry, The Beat, Drummers of Burundi, Echo & The Bunnymen, Imrat Khan, Prince Nico M' barga, Simple Minds, Suns of Arqa, The Chieftains and Ekome amongst others performing.
Gabriel and his company — which had funded WOMAD — faced financial ruin due to the high costs of the festival〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/jul/26/peter-gabriel-30-years-womad )〕 in its very first year, put down to lack of suitable transport to the venue and a lack of publicity. At the suggestion of Tony Smith, the manager of Gabriel and Genesis, he and the remaining members of Genesis agreed to play together for a single show under the name 'Six of the Best'.
Since 1982 WOMAD Festivals have travelled all over the world, bringing artists to numerous locations and entertaining over one million people. The main UK event was held at Rivermead in Reading, Berkshire from 1990 until 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/womad )〕
