Our connection to the world around us – ‘I’m just a part of everything’ Peter sings on title track i\/o – is a recurring motif, but so too the passing of time, mortality and grief, alongside such themes as injustice, surveillance and the roots of terrorism.

Several songs bear the fingerprints of long-time associate Brian Eno, whilst there are notable contributions from Richard Russell, pianist Tom Cawley, trumpeters Josh Shpak and Paolo Fresu, cellist Linnea Olsson and keyboard player Don E. Peter’s daughter Melanie contributes warm backing vocals, as does Ríoghnach Connolly of The Breath, while Real World regulars Richard Chappell, Oli Jacobs, Katie May and Richard Evans collectively provide programming and play various instruments. Soweto Gospel Choir and Swedish all-male choir Oprhei Drängar lend their magnificent harmonies to a selection of tracks, and the mass strings of the New Blood Orchestra, led by John Metcalfe, both soothe and soar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRenowned for being a boundary-pushing artist, i\/o is not simply a collection of a dozen songs.

The dozen artists make an exceedingly impressive team of collaborators: Ai Weiwei, Nick Cave, Olafur Eliasson, Henry Hudson, Annette Messager, Antony Micallef, David Moreno, Cornelia Parker, Megan Rooney, Tim Shaw, David Spriggs and Barthélémy Toguo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother visual link with Peter’s past work is the cover shot.

With the dream ‘not to sprinkle world music around a rock festival, but to prove that these great artists could be headliners in their own right’, the three days and five stages played host to 60 bands from over 20 countries; a line-up that included The Drummers of Burundi, Pigbag, Salsa de Hoy, Simple Minds, Musicians of the Nile, Echo and the Bunnymen, Prince Nico Mbarga, Rip, Rig and Panic, The Beat and many more…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I remember this gig well,” says Peter Gabriel. “We played a mix of old and brand-new material.

But those that had decided to check out WOMAD and its weird and wonderful lineup were open-minded, bold and curious - a great audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was a landmark and edgy gig for me both personally and musically and brings back lots of memories.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the three days ‘an evening concert series’ took place in the Showering Pavilion on the festival site. On the Friday night that concert featured Tian Jin (a song and dance troupe from China), Simple Minds and, with a ‘special festival set of non-album material’, Peter Gabriel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLive at WOMAD 1982 is a recording of that Friday night concert. The non-album material in question are seven of the eight songs that would make up the album Peter Gabriel 4. An album that wouldn’t be released for a further two months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn-stage, Peter is joined by David Rhodes (guitar), John Giblin (bass), Larry Fast (synthesisers). Jerry Marotta (drums), Peter Hammill (guitar, vocals) and “the wonderful Bristol-based drum and dance group,” Ekomé (drums, percussion).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“We wanted to show that wherever you were born, whatever colour or language, whatever religious or sexual persuasion, powerful passionate and joyful work would have a warm welcome in WOMAD. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the beginning, most music industry professionals told us that we had no chance of making this dream work, we had all the wonderful naïve misguided optimism of the young, and were convinced that we would prove all the cynics wrong.
