Almost certainly. Before I went, @callcopse said it was described as a food festival with music attached to it as much as vice versa. There was almost every kind of delicacy, so many beers and single source ciders […]

I know, I was thinking of you when I did sit down to watch them for a song, realising you would have watched their entire set, (and Jeff Tweedy’s guest spot with Dry Cleaning earlier). Had there not been the […]

Not much finger in the ear music at Green Man. Looking at the line up for Beautiful Days, it seems like much more of a heritage festival – I recognize 60-70% of the acts listed. I’d heard of about 10 of the 100 […]

I believe they do, yes Nation of Language? I think they could appeal to the New Order fans here. Report back on what you find. It may be that they come over best in the live setting.

Yes, you were right, Freddy – all my misgivings were misplaced and it was exactly the right benevolent act to climax the benevolent Green Man. There was such positivity and bonhomie. it was tactile. I’m surprised […]

Well done if you made it to the end of this marathon read. I hope I did the festival justice.

Sunday Sunday, a day of rest. Yeah, right. I had 12 more bands to see, and the grass wasn’t going to grow under my feet (although to be fair reason earlier in the week had started making the Green Man site […]

Saturday Having wandered all over the place on Friday, on Saturday, I read the festival guide and set out a programme in the morning, mostly sticking to it. First off at midday, Tamikrest. Saharan desert blues […]

Friday Over halfway through. I knew my way round the site. The big choices for the evening were Aldous Harding or Stewart Lee, Baxter Dury or Wilco. Tantalizing choices – can you guess what I went for? But […]

Thursday Green Man proper started on the Thursday. The festival area was opened up, and my friends showed me around – countless food stalls – mainly local suppliers, 60+ beers from local brewers, a dedicated […]

Settlement days (Mon -Wed) We arrived on the Monday for 3 days of ‘settlement’ – far fewer people than would be arriving for the main event from Thursday, the main site closed off, it felt like a village fete, […]

Lamé, don’t you mean?

It’s the one area of life in which us left handers have a natural advantage. I’m not giving up this practice until you prise the fork from my cold dead sinister fingers.

Touché

In our home we sit down to one if not two meals a day. No phones at the table and there’s lovely conversation from the 3 women/girls in the family. Sunday morning breakfast is a special meal with all sorts of […]

Incidentally, I get the 12 inch when I hear New Order as well.

The rest of the review follows here: There have been concerts at Kunstrasen since 2012 when Lou Reed and Patti Smith both played. In the intervening years, there have always been a mix of German and […]

No it isn’t. That would be P,C&L

I really like all the different versions of Confusion.
