The Green Man Festival

An Interview with Jo from the Green Man Festival.

The Green Man Festival is a small alternative music festival started by folk act, It's Jo and Danny.

The first event took place in 2003, at the Craig Y Nos Castle built by Madame Adelina Patti, but moved in 2004 and 2005 to Baskerville Hall Hotel near Clyro (Wales). The last couple of years the green man has been hosted at Glanusk Park. Each year the event has grown in size. The Green Man Festival has been labelled a folk music festival, but incorporates related styles of music too.

This year saw headline sets from Joanna Newsom, Robert plant and Ian Malkamus. Creature's highlights fromthis year inlcude Mistys big adventure, John Smith and the Broken family band all of which can be found within the festival edition.

Creature has been in attendance for the past two years, the atmosphere is relaxed, the music is good and the setting idillic, we would whole heartedly recommend this festival to any folk/alternative music fan. The organisers are proud that the event has retained its anti-corporate feel yet continues to thrive...

Creaure managed to grab a minute of Jo's time to ask her a few questions about this lovely little festival.
