The final day of WOMADelaide 2016 started with cooler weather, much to everyone's delight.

"There are just too many great things to see here!" complained a punter. What a wonderful problem to have.

The extraordinary diversity of music, information, play and entertainment can be quite overwhelming.

As opening nights go this was a big one and if this level of artistry, diversity and energy is going to be maintained, we are in for quite a weekend.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is an experience rather than a band.

Sufjan Stevens was certainly amongst friends at the Thebarton Theatre.

Although he has "been a bit poorly", as he put it, Vin Garbutt is back and in cracking form

As the audience entered the space it was obvious that Dear John was not going to be a normal theatre experience.

Miss Revolutionary Idol Berserker began, strangely enough, in the Dunstan Playhouse foyer, as the loose gathering of ticket holders were herded down the stairs.

Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu's latest recording, The Gospel Album, is a dedication to his mother and aunts who introduced him to the songs, lullabies and gospel music.

Tex Perkins And The Dark Horses neatly and casually led their audience through some laid back and understated songs.

Augie March were back on an Adelaide stage, and they were welcomed back as friends by a loving and delighted crowd.

Jacqui Yeo led a well-rehearsed band through some of the iconic songs of Aretha Franklin.

Emma Donovan and the Putbacks opened the final day of WOMADelaide, on Centre Stage with an exhibition of good, solid soul.

Malawi Mouse Boys opened the third day of WOMADelaide on Stage 2 and to say that their sound is raw is rather an understatement.

Tjintu Desert Band opened the second day of WOMADelaide on Stage 2 with their blend of reggae and rock.

The contemporary WOMAD goes well beyond world music and dance as it also incorporates visual and performing arts, food, and ideas.

This is quite obviously a labour of love from some very talented professional musicians.
