Green Man Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Green Man Festival is a British alternative music festival started by folk act Its Joe and Danny. The first event took place in Clyro (Wales) in 2003 and the event has grown in size ever since. The event can loosely be called a folk music festival, but it incorporates related styles of music too. The organisers are proud that the event has retained its anti-corporate feel yet continues to thrive. The 2006 festival was held in Glanusk Park (near Abergavenny) because the event had outgrown it's old home. The organisers have now confirmed that this will be the permanent home of the event which is scheduled to take place from 17th-19th August 2007. Joanna Newsom and Robert Plant are set to headline.
In 2006, the event was headlined by Donovan, Jose Gonzalez and Calexico. Other performers included Adem, Bat For Lashes and Micah P. Hinson.
