Green Man 2011 Highlights

So A month ago today I was watching this bloke on the main stage of the Green Man Festival.



Iron & Wine was the initial pull to buy the tickets for me. I've wept alone in my bedroom to this guy. He was stunning.

My next highlight is Dry the River. I had seen one video of them on youtube before the festival and decided to watch them on the back of that. The energy and raw emotion these lads put into each performance was staggering:



James Blake was fantastic. I lay down on the grass and just felt that shit. The bass was .



One of the pulls for me was Explosions in the Sky, but unfortunately they clashed with this next guy who could not be missed. Though I couldn't find a video of him at Green Man, this was the last show I saw of his andthe reason I missed half of EITS. Ben Howard...



As well as too much good music to appreciate fully in four days, Green Man was a carnival of merriment and one that didn't have to be realised through a chemical haze. A refreshing festival whichI will be going to next year. And the next year. Indefinitely.
