Among the performers are Egyptian vocalist Sheikh Taha - from the Sufi-themed Siam Tent - and Hotel Palindrone, whose pan-European folk music draws on Galician, Swedish and Balkan influences as well as the Alpine drone tradition of their native Austria. Plus highlights from sets by Cambodian-American psych band Dengue Fever and bassist Jah Wobble, who brings his Chinese Dub project to Radio 3's own stage in the Arboretum.
