The Stages - 2017

The Mountain stage now has the weaving that we saw on the Walled Garden last year, creating the patterns at the side.


The Green Man lettering at the side is still there, and kids had a great time playing in it!




Not really a stage, but this is 'Round the Twist', a party tent.



I'm not sure if Far Out was bigger this year - it looked the same but felt bigger inside.  Here were the mighty Sleaford Mods.



The Walled Garden retained the weaving, but this time seemed bigger too, and still at the centre.



I've not got main pictures of Babbling Tongues, but here's one inside, with Pete Paphides, James Yorkston and Johnny Lynch


And finally, one of Chai Wallahs, which has pretty much been the same every year.

Line Up - 2003

I didn't go to this one - it's been recreated by internet archeology! This one was in Craig Y Nos Castle, Abercrave, Powys. The names that really stick out are James Yorkston, King Creosote and Gravenhurst. I'm guessing Pictish Trail must have played with Kink Creosote or James Yorkston, as he's played every year. Monday 25th August 2003 Main Stage James Yorkston It's Jo And Danny The Mountaineers The Memory Band King Creosote Wigwam Christopher Rees Field Trip Compere : The Bard Of Ely Folkey Dokey Jeb Loy Nichols Byrne Charlotte Greig The Playwrights Gravenhurst Elaine Palmer Caroline Martin David Hurn

The Stages - 2006

Image
2006 was the first Green Man at Glan Usk, and pretty small compared to today. The Mountain Stage has always been in the same place, but it was tiny compared to today. It still looked impressive against the mountains though... The same can't be said of the thirds stage, which is the Walled Garden now.  Then it was in the courtyard, and was a gazebo! It's worth putting a few photos of that because it's so mad! Finally, I think this is where the Folkey Dokey stage was...
