"Festivalens folk- och världsmusikprägel har självklart sina rötter i det internationella perspektivet. Möten mellan skilda kulturer ger oss möjligheter till fantastiska upplevelser, och bidrar till att skapa förståelse över kulturgränser. Människor "blandas" idag, man reser, studerar och immigrerar till andra länder. På samma sätt "blandas" även kulturerna. Musik skapas och utvecklas idag ofta med ingredienser från flera genrer. Det traditionella blandas med det moderna, afrikanskt med svenskt osv. Denna musik kallas ibland världsmusik."

| 6. The Green Man Festival on 15 Aug 2008 |
Location: Abergavenny, United Kingdom
Things you wouldn't hear at the Reading festival: "Would you like rocket with that?" "Anyone for an organic manicure?" "Aren't the toilets lovely?" But the Green Man isn't Reading, or T, or V, or any of the other corporate brutes of the festival world. Now in its fourth year, it is bigger than ever, with 6,000 punters spread across three stages and acres of gloriously green national parkland in Wales.
Happily, expansion hasn't come at the expense of the Green Man's villagey vibe. Over by the duck pond is a coconut shy, and there is some serious Scrabble going on while Shortwave Set are on stage. GM-free children in papooses abound; there is even a field full of breast-feeders mobilised by the Association of Radical Midwives.
With so many non-musical activities to choose from, the bands could be peripheral - and at times early on in each day, the Nick Drake/Jeff Buckley-ites do provide more pleasant aural wallpaper than spine-tingling thrills. But when M Ward comes on and lifts the bar with his Dylan-meets-Cash rock'n'roll, it all falls into place. Eventually, things peak not with headliners Donovan or Jose Gonzales, but - aptly, for such a family-friendly festival - with two acts bound by blood: Gordon "Lone Pigeon" Anderson's new bonkers group The Aliens and his brother's folky alter-ego, King Creosote.
Never before at a festival have bands appeared so punctually, has litter been picked up (and recycled) so obediently, and urine aimed so skillfully into the bowls of the near-pristine portable toilets. To some, this may sound like a betrayal of everything a good "fezzer" stands for. For the rest of us, it's heaven.
