Well here I am “live” blogging from the Green Man Festival, via a convenient free wifi network coming from the Baskerville Hall Hotel. Thanks…

Baskerville Hall

The festival started proper last night (Friday) and after spending a long dat helping our mates get their marquee up, we got to see some of the opening folk acts on the main stage. Early on, I really loved Brigyn who suffered through some sound problems to deliver some beautiful melodic music. Welsh sounds really good sung. I guess that is no surprise really.

Now it is about noon: the puppet tent is opening and the main stage has cranked up. Time to get out into it and see and hear some things.

There are a couple of darkish clouds hanging around but no rain yet. There was a quick shower last night that sent us scurrying back to the tent for wellies and raincoats. By the time we got the gear on, though, the rain was gone.

The countryside around here is beautiful. Staring off into the distance is a delight. The far side of the valley bathed in shafts of sunlight is just stunning.
