I love 'setlist' researching and have sometimes resorted to making clash-based decisions around them. I have a friend who wants it all to be a total surprise and can't bear my 'spoilers'.

Gilgamesh69 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Have been travelling since around half 4 this morning, will be staying in Cardiff tonight (first time there; any recommendations?) and then heading to the fest tomorrow. I really hope it's worth it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, it seems very hard to guess what sort of set Anais Mitchell will do. Mostly Hadestown? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope it's worth it ? Go to Tiny Rebel or the City Arms for beers and Blue Honey Night Cafe for food; all next door to each other near the Castle. If you download the Wriggle app there are offers on beer (from £2.50) and food (about £5) for lots of independents rather than the usual chain places. Also, try to get a Pastel de Nata or Welsh Cake - near the entrance to the arcade; again both opposite the Castle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to pick up some cans for the festival tiny rebel are doing 12 for £20. Got me some this lunch time. Also they are doing stay-puff, cwtch, lush, juicy, and cask ipa at greenman FYI if you want to do some “revision” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all good though! It was massively improved by BSS pulling out and Fat Whites coming in for me! But yeah, I'd be gutted if one of my must sees had pulled out.

rug568 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Got in and set up camp in classic Green Man weather-sunny and raining at the same time. The ground is still very good but can see orange car park being a major issue on Monday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to those who aren't making it, especially @lessthanwill1! Also, a weird diet question- but has anyone attempted to do Green Man on a low FODMAP diet (e.g avoiding garlic and onions)? (it's for digestion issues) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
