Gia Ford, Cerys Hafana, Gillie, Sam Grassie, Esther Manito, Eryn Tett, Caryl Burke, Sascha LO

More magic awaits as Welsh folk singer Gillie, who brought wonder to the Walled Garden when she opened the stage on Thursday, returns to the fabled podcast tent, joined by Cerys Hafana, known for her transformation of classic Welsh Folk with her triple harp, and Sheffield’s own Gia Ford, the soft rock singer-songwriter who’s been supporting Self Esteem on tour. 

Next, Scottish-born fingerstyle guitarist Sam Grassie, rising star of trad folk and member of folk collective Broadside Hacks is joined by his band members Daisy Rickman and Nathan Piggott for a chat. Together, their flurry of woodwind, sax, drones and double bass mesmerised the Green Man Rising stage. 

Then, the podcast tent is electrified by comedy, with award-winning Essex talent Esther Manito, actor and comedian Eryn Tett, two-time BBC comedy award nominee Sasha LO, and Welsh stand-up and Green Man first-timer Caryl Burke. The four talk strange DMs, dream festivals, and getting comedy advice from the audience.
