The Green Man festival
 Last weekend the Brecon Beacons played host to the chilled-out Green Man festival. Spectacular scenery, quality acts spread over three stages, foodstalls serving up an array of organic Fair Trade fayre, and some of the loveliest festival-goers ever known to man (green or otherwise) all combined to make the Green Man festival the highlight of the Welsh  festival summer.
Six of our campaigners were there and over the three days they succeeded in signing-up nearly 600 people to the I'm in campaign, made many useful contacts for Oxjam events, and sold new and second-hand clothing from our recently waterproofed stall.
Dodgy weather on the Friday and Saturday dampened clothes but not the enthusiasm, as King Creosote, The Aliens and the Silver Jews were all received with gusto. Happily, the rain stayed away on Sunday and headliners Calexico (pictured) built on people's good feeling and rounded off a fantastic weekend with their enchilada-tinged sound.
