WOMAD's Paula Henderson Chats To I Like Music


ILM: What exactly does your job entail?

Paula: I programme the event. I'm the Programmer! I have an awful lot of meetings with people from Real World and the WOMAD office at the beginning to work out what they are looking for that particular year. I then go off and research artists, either go and see gigs or myspace, the best invention that ever came my way! I try and get a big mix of artists. Something that might be absolutley fantastic might not be suitable for one year, so I put them on a list that I can remember again for future years. So just because someone isn't picked for 2009, it doesn't mean they won't be considered for 2010, 2011, 2012...Our interest always goes on.

ILM: What determines whether an artist is suitable for one year over another? Are you very particular about the musical specifications for each year of the festival?
