Almost as ubiquitous of the festival as the Green Man himself,
Pictish Trail — aka Scottish musician Johnny Lynch — hasn’t missed
a single year, voyaging down from his home on the remote Isle of
Eigg every August. He furrows his own, idiosyncratic path on
records of unpredictable electro-acoustic psych-pop, most recently
on fifth album Island Family, and also helms Lost Map Records — a
linchpin of UK independent music. Welsh folk storyteller Gillie
returns to Green Man this summer with her bilingual, hazy charm.
The Carmarthenshire-born singer and songwriter has just released a
new EP called Yn y Bore, a collection of songs filled with
propulsive guitar loops and soft harmony, that add light to your
day and are “a reminder that it will all be okay by the morning”.
In this Green Man 2024 preview episode, Johnny and Gillie reflect
on some of their fondest Green Man memories, and look ahead to
their must-sees for 2024. Gillie relives her teen years at the
festival, and Johnny pens a love letter to the Walled Garden, where
they’re both playing this year - Gillie at 4.15pm on Thursday,
Pictish Trail at 5pm on Sunday.
