WOT! NO FLEET FOXES?

I drove down with Mary in the van late Thursday night, getting to the Green Man festival site around midnight. Pete and Cait and the kids were already there as were our friends Nathan, Vicki and their kids, Martha and Ingrid. I deffo drank too much and smoked (idiot) but saw some ace bands and met up with many friends such as ZWOLF, Dr Ben, Vendettas, Big P, Jon, the gloriously named Jimmy Bell, The Civil War Bear, Teflon Monkey, Bernie, Mel, Kim, Mel and Kim, Schnorbitz, Crav, Angh, Furries, Ifans, Elvis, Spenkins.. the list goes on. Green Man is where all my friends go every year. It’s ace.

I’ve written about some of the bands on the Review page. It rains every year at Green Man and this year they tried switching the dates a week earlier. Friday was a beautiful day filled with warm sun but things turned very nasty indeed on the Saturday and it pissed down for pretty much the whole day. I spent most of the day in the cottage and the rest of it in the Bear Inn in Crickhowell. Sunday was a bit better and Marylou and I skidded around the place, watching bands and eating some of the fine food they have on offer.

We got back late afternoon yesterday and slept for a few hours. I stayed up most of the night reading David Cavanagh’s Creation book which I’ve never read and which I will talk about another time.
