2011 Green Man - the 9th festival and the last one Danny and I were involved in. Along with the headliners, James Blake, Andrew Weatherall, Ben Howard and the very last name on the poster, Michael Kiwanuka! indiethroughthelookingglass.com/the-green-ma...
Green Man 2010 - year 9 The Flaming Lips took things to another new level for us. The perfect festival band. Plus Joanna Newsom, Doves, Billy Bragg and loads more… oh yeah and the mud! indiethroughthelookingglass.com/the-green-ma...
Just had a fabulous time at The Cabin. Was told, I look like Kate Moss, am sexy and have a beautiful voice. That’s it, I’m done!
Green Man 2009 - year 7. We were over the moon to confirm Animal Collective. Then we confirmed Bon Iver and we knew this was another killer line up. Wilco on the Sunday and Jarvis Cocker headlining the Saturday. indiethroughthelookingglass.com/the-green-ma...
Green Man 2008 - year 6. Super Furry Animals, Spiritualized & Pentangle. The National, Mumfords etc. a very wet year. Most importantly, tragically our wonderful designer Jon Clee died in a traffic accident. Jon was a huge influence. ❤️ indiethroughthelookingglass.com/the-green-ma...
Green Man 2007 - year 5. A classic line up, one I shall always be proud of. Robert Plant phoned us at home to ‘ask’ if he could play! (Thanks gavin.hogg !). So many wonderful artists - look at all the acts on the poster, even further down the bill. indiethroughthelookingglass.com/the-green-ma...
Green Man 2006 - the 4th festival. Our first at Glan Usk (where it remains). The first really wet one. indiethroughthelookingglass.com/2006-green-m...
The 3rd Green Man - 2005. Bonnie’Prince’ Billy, Joanna Newsom, James Yorkston, King Creosote. 2nd & final time at Baskerville Hall. Jon Clee’s bearded antlered man design. The most mind blowing weekend of my life. indiethroughthelookingglass.com/2005-green-m...
Green Man 2004 - year two - our first at Baskerville Hall in Hay on Wye. The first year working with the very talented Jon Clee looking after the artwork. Two days and nights. Four Tet headlined the Saturday and Alasdair Roberts the Sunday. Read more: indiethroughthelookingglass.com/2004-green-m...
August is Green Man month. I founded the Green Man in 2003 with Danny Hagan - we ran it for ten years. Ten incredible years. The first one, was a one day event in a small Welsh castle. Read about ‘How to Start Your Own Festival’ indiethroughthelookingglass.com/gmf-2003/
