The Stages - 2008


There were still no TV screens on the mountain stage in 2008,  In fact no decoration at all this year, but it still looks stunning!




You can just see the start of the arrival of the chair-people, although in 2008 must people were still pretty happy to sit on the floor.



 My picture of the small stage is tiny - to match the stage!  I can't actually remember where it was.  I'm pretty sure it was still near the court yard.




We also had a literature tent (now babbling tongues). Here it was hosting one of the most legendary Green Man sets - The Three Craws, with King Creosote, James Yorkston and Jonny Lynch (Pictish Trail). It was absolutely hammering it down with rain outside, and the tent got so full sweat was dripping from the ceiling.

Line Up - 2005

I've lost my programme to 2005, so I'll gradually add to this as I remember things. There may be mistakes here!  I've reconstructed some of this from my iTunes playlists/library and the Way Back Machine Green Man 2005 was held in Baskerville Hall, and had two stages, on outdoor (the main stage) and one indoor, called the Folkey Dokey.  The Folkey Dokey was tiny, and full a lot.
