UK Green Man festival

If you go down to the woods today.

The witching hour, and, as The Incredible String Band close their main-stage set, in the car park a skiffle band strikes up a rousing version of I Will Survive, watched by a stilt-walking panto dame. Welcome to the Green Man festival - three days of folk, facial hair and attendant strangeness in the bucolic surrounds of Hay-on-Wye, nestled snugly on the Welsh borders.
