Excellent. I think you are standing in the south west of the picture looking towards the tree. You are dressed in white.

[Paul Sherratt]

Good try.
But too tall and slim !

>>>>I am apparently going to be at this event.

And what about that MAK ?

I would be surprised if she weren't.

So, let me get this clear, the idea is to go to a festival with thousands of fans then slope off to a quiet bit to check out some little known music...?

NB now in the Brecon Beacons. Head of the valleys apparently or v. Close to it.

Oh. I'm not sure that you quite understand me Paul. I was standing on my head to look at the photo. I've got a pair of glasses with crepe paper sellotaped to them and I didn't specify which tree.

According to my magic wheel, Global is within 200 miles of Bala. I'm known for my special powers in these parts. It is only a matter of time before I go international. (He's just turned up to prove my point).

[Globaltruth]

Bala? Or Bali? Or Bally? Lat - I bow to your omniscience. I've discovered the Welsh share my enthusiasm for torta negra which they insist on calling bara brith. Can I change my handle to globalbread ?

There are rumours of dragons but i'm sure they are just fiery imaginatory phantasms. On the other hand, what on earth was that strange rumbling and the orange flickering in the sky?


Note to JC - local history says a Mr West woke up one morning in 1856 and discovered that, through an Inclosure Act (sic) he now owned about 200 acres known as the Glanusk Estate. I'm looking for a legal loophole to reclaim it back for the Pictish tribes. I wish...

[Paul Sherratt]

Blimey Globalbeard, you have arrived early for the Green Man Festival !

[Lateralthinking1]

I am not sure yet whether I am going to get there but I hope so. The line-up is taking shape.

Very good to see Afrocubism in, a no-brainer really; Gogol Bordello to split the jury; Baaba Maal will be interesting - many didn't like "Television", not least Robin D, but I thought it was ok; Ballake Sissoko - expect the sublime; and very intriguingly Booker T. Jones. Lau are a small plus too.

Well I won't be there 'cos I'll be sunning myself (hopefully) in the Hebrides - but after listening to Cerys' opening track this morning I think I would be tempted to make a bee line for Ebo Taylor if I was there.

Where can you get an Ebo hat ?
