WOMAD held a press conference announcing that the 25th Anniversary WOMAD 2007 will be held at Charlton Park, near Malmesbury in north Wiltshire. The extensive eFestivals.co.uk article includes pictures of the site, and states that this will be 50% bigger than the site at Reading.

Also, BBC News interviewed Peter about the Genesis get together next year. This quote may qualify for BEST NEWS FOR GABEFANS to date this year:

"There were conversations and I decided not to be a part of it," Gabriel told BBC News.

His replacement, former drummer Phil Collins, has confirmed he will take part in the reunion tour, which was announced earlier this week.

"I’m very happy for them," said Gabriel.

"It’s not that I’ve ruled it out, but I’ve got some new material that I’ll be working on."

THAT is what a lot of us wanted to hear!
