Green light for Green Man

Initial reaction to the news that Green Man is going ahead this year? A brief pang of dismay, I'll admit, on account of the fact that we reluctantly gave up our tickets a couple of months back and made alternative plans. (The line-up may be significantly different to the one originally assembled before the pandemic and international travel became such a challenge to negotiate, but it's far from a disappointment - on the contrary, there are gems wherever you look, not least in the form of Saturday night headliners Mogwai. Oh to be there in front of the Mountain Stage as part of one of the first audiences to witness the material from #1 album As The Love Continues in the flesh.)

But in truth I'm delighted it's happening - for the organisers, all of the crew, the bands, the vendors (including some of the finest festival caterers you'll find anywhere) and indeed everyone involved with what is invariably a fantastic weekend. The uncertainty must have been tortuous, so here's hoping all goes well, Green Man's future is secured and we can get to go back to Glanusk Park in 2022.
