In case you didn't know already there's a lot more to Green Man than meets the eye. Aside from their eclectic music line-up and beautiful surroundings they also play host to some wonderful talks and readings from some of the countries leading speakers and writers. 2014 will be no different as this years bash sees the return of its acclaimed Talking Shop with Punk legend Viv Albertine, filmmaker/essayist Patrick Keiler, Scritti Politti singer Green Gartside and former international drug smuggler turned author Howard Marks all taking to its area. There'll be a chance to step inside the tardis with Doctor Who composer Peter Howell (BBC Radiophonic Workshop), flex your artistic muscles with illustrator and avid ornithologist Matt Sewell, and a talk with architecture writer Owen Hatherle plus much much more.

You can see the full line up as it stands over on the official Green Man website here with many more still to come, including the Saturday night Mountain Stage headliner! Green Man will run between 14-17 August 2014. Tickets are available to purchase now from the site here.
