Womadelaide 1992.

13-15th March 1992.Botanic Park. Adelaide.

Recordings and set lists.

    For most of the history of Womadelaide the good old Australian Broadcasting Corporation ( affectionately known as Auntie ) has documented the festival. However there have been lapses and rather strange turns in policy ( mostly due to budget cuts ) so there are gaps. Also, the ABC only ever set up recording facilities on stages 1-3 and some of the more interesting acts have appeared elsewhere. So its been left to tapers to fill the gaps here and there.

   Now we at the archive do not condone the unofficial taping of shows , especially for commercial gain, but we are an historical archive so we believe that its part of our function to let people know what music has been preserved over the years by whatever means . We present this list in that spirit , we do not know where you can acquire these recordings , whether they be TV , FM, AM or audience recordings and we will not help anyone in their search to acquire them , so please don't waste your time asking as we won't reply- unless you have some official research project you want help with .

1992 Recordings

  The first of the Womadelaide festivals saw the ABC doing us proud and actually direct broadcasting many of the shows as they took place. This was the last time apart from 1993 that they broadcast mostly whole sets in any scale and it was obvious that they were helping to create an audience for the festival , I am sure that the ABC can take a lot of credit in the early years for popularising the festival around Australia . No one seems to have audience taped the festival before 1997 , which is sad , as so far no recordings of many sets have not surfaced .

The Pogues , although advertised, did not show up.
