Green Man

I spent the weekend at The Green Man Festival, which was nestled in the Brecon Beacons. It was utterly lovely. Never thought I'd describe a festival as such, what with Reading being my usual haunt.

Lovely atmosphere, lovely food (all hail pieminister) and some lovely music. Highlights included Four Tet (pic above), 9Bach and Pagan Wanderer Lu (the less said about Animal Collective the better).

The stand out act of the weekend however was a 17-year-old Scot with a laptop, a lion hat and buckets of enthusiasm. Playing the tiny Green Man Pub Stage on Saturday afternoon, Unicorn Kid tore Green Man a new one.

The bearded folkies may have been left scratching their heads at the gameboy-dropped-in-a-bath chiptune beats but the kids got their rave on. Probably should have had a CRB check before I did too.

Catch him at Swn in October.
