Didn't realise this forum was still here so hope you all don't mind if I duplicate this post I made on the other forum..
Kelly Joe Phelps

Superb Folk-blues - a mixture of pure delta blues, fingerpicking and folk - seen him twice and both gigs left me speechless.
Hot Club Of Cowtown:

Although they are strictly Hot jazz and Western Swing they are hugely entertaining
and in keeping with the spirit of Green Man.
Robyn Hitchcock:

A Folk Rock legend who is happy playing solo, with half of R.E.M., or playing a set full of Syd Barret classics.
Blue Aeroplanes:
www.myspace.com/blueaeroplanes
Bristolian Art/Beat rock band - the biggest band from the South West, toured with R.E.M.
Michael Stipe recorded backing vox with them, they perform with 4 guitars and a Polish Dancer!
A smattering of Manchester bands to finish with:
