Green Man Festival 2011

We're off to Wales again, with Ghost Box Records and some crazy kids films in tow.

Friday 19th August-Sunday 21st August,

at Glanusk Park near Abergavenny

For four years we've had the pleasure of invading the Green Man Festival's big top cinema, with past highlights including British Sea Power scoring Man of Aran, a rare live set by Bibio and last year Separado with a Gruff Rhys Q&A. This time around we're sharing Friday night with special guests Ghost Box Records...

BELBURY YOUTH CLUB

For one night only the combined talents of Ghost Box will be transplanted from their home village of Belbury, bringing a haunted charabanc full of archive TV, brain-melting projections and beautiful sounds.

7pm: a selection of music documentaries

8.30pm: Ghost Box DJs

9pm: Pye Corner Audio (live)

Sonorous transmissions from PCA’s ‘Head Technician’, who recently released a limited edition cassette run on Further Records.

A selection of Ghost Box shorts, public information films and archive clips to quicken the heart and chill the soul.

11.30pm: The Shout (dir: Jerzy Skolimowski)

The evening closes with various half-remembered musical promos and films you can dance to.
