With just over six weeks until Green Man once again comes back to life, the latest tantalising festival announcement is all about literature and spoken word.
In addition to headlining the Mountain Stage, Super Furry Animals will also be part of the Talking Shop Literature Stage. Gruff and Guto are joining Gwenno Saunders to talk about the bands’ illustrious career, whilst Pete Fowler and Ric Rawlins (the band’s biographer and GIITTV writer) will be discussing Monsterism and the world of the group’s artwork.
Following Saturday afternoon’s screening of Pride in the Cinedrome, there will be a panel discussion with Sian James MP, Dawn Foster and Dr. Emma Jackson, looking at the issues surrounding Pride and The Miners’ Strike.
This year’s popular MOJO interview will be with the legendary Mark E. Smith. Anything can happen and you will certainly be entertained, if not a little bewildered and confused.
Also joining the line up are Richard King (Original Rockers), Owen Sheers (I Saw A Man), Matt Sewell (Bird Spotting and Jotting), Croydon Till I Die (with Bob Stanley, Andy Miller and John Grindrod), Mick Houghton (The Biography of Sandy Denny with Jude Rogers), Wyndham Wallace (The World Of Lee Hazlewood), Andy Miller (The Year of Reading Dangerously), Steven Machat (Sacred Knowledge), Tom Cox, A.W. Wilde, Will Burns, Ghost Box DJs and Rob Chapman (Psychedelia And Other Colours).
