Green Man in 140 characters
Green Man is over for another year, leaving in its wake muzzy heads, furry mouths, discarded muddy wellies and a few thousand falafel wrappers.
No doubt DJ and blogger extraordinaire Bethan Elfyn will be reviewing the whole shebang later on, but here's a selection of tweets about the festival that we've found. That is, those tweets we've found that were lucky enough to escape the black hole of mobile/3G reception that is the Brecon Beacons.
- "There's not many festivals that could organise a mountain and a rainbows end directly behind main stage but #Greenman have several times."
- " Summer Camp: dreamy, wistful pop music, the kind played by lonely teens in American high school movies from the 90s. Ace."
- "Laura Marling is perfection personified so beautiful and talented #greenman."
- "Love , LOVE Joanna Newsom, love #greenman. Surely the sun is now a certainty for 2011."
- "Greenman was ace! Top 5 in no particular order: efterklang, dj yoda, y niwl, wild beasts and Laura marling. Girls were amazing too!"
- "Today's highlights #Greenman fm and laura ."
- "Wonderful rendition of Morning Drift from @efterklang. They're soundin' lovely #greenman."
- "harp song / a small boy strums / the crowd barrier - #greenman #haiku inspired by this pm's
- "#greenman you continue to slay all other fests. Felix, Je Suis Animal & Bear In Heaven all brilliant today, still JoNew to come!"
- "Megafaun best of the day so far at #greenman - uplifting choral melodies by wild men of the woods!"
- "And while I'm at it I might as well rave about how good Wild Beasts were. Stunning. #greenman."
- "Billy was awesome. The Flaming Lips are insane, in a good way. And I want to marry whoever was DJing at the #greenman pub last night."
- "Dear Flaming Lips. You are just too preposterous. Love, Nadia #greenman."
But there's always a dissenting voice: - "All headliners at #greenman have had immensely disappointing setlists. Except doves, who of course I didn't see."
Suffice to say that Green Man - despite the best efforts of weather - hit the spot musically and its relentless growth continues.
