Green Man 2025 review: all the good bits of Glastonbury in one perfect space
In the day, trolleys of smiling children run between its walls while camping chair-clad drinkers pick from dozens of independent Welsh beers, the festival does not have any sponsors to showcase more breweries, as the music gets underway. Aussie trio Folk Bitch Trio provided one of the standout performances as they mesmerised crowds with what Phoebe Bridgers once described as 'Boygenius if it was from the 1940s', but Middle English poetry, postindustrial hometown blues and electronic avant-pop are just a few of the genres that graced the intimate stage in the sunshine this week.

Gorillaz fans only just clocking pun behind band's iconic name after 27 years
Gorillaz have become a household name thanks to their catchy tunes - but it seems a lot of their bands have no idea where the iconic band's name actually comes from They've been dropping hits since the late 1990s - but some Gorillaz fans are only just learning how the band's name came to be. The virtual band, created by musician Demin Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, is made up of four fictional members 2-D, Murdoc Niccals, Russel Hobbs, and Noodle. The idea to create the iconic band came about when Albran and Hewlett were watching MTV. Fed up of the show's offerings, Hewlett said: "If you watch MTV for too long, it's a bit like hell – there's nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a virtual band, something that would be a comment on that." Albarn added: "This was the beginning of the boy band sort of explosion and it just felt so manufactured. "And we were like, well let's make a manufactured band but make it kind of interesting." They went onto release popular songs including Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc, DARE, Rock the House, Momentary Bliss, 19-2000, Kids With Guns, Tomorrow Comes Today, and On Melancholy Hill. However, 27 years after the band first formed back in 1998, some fans have been wondering how the band came up with their name - and there's a number of theories behind it. One Reddit user said: "The name of the band Gorillaz is a pun because a group of gorillas is called a band." In response, another user added: "From what I've been told, the name "Gorillaz" comes from a comment Liam Gallagher of Oasis made. "Damon Albarn, the musical force behind Gorillaz, used to be/is in another band called Blur, who were a major competitor with Oasis back in the 90s at the peak of Britpop. "An interviewer compared the feud to the battle between The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in the 60s, and asked Liam whether Oasis were The Beatles or the Stones. "Liam responded, 'We're the Beatles and the Stones, and [Blur are] the f***ing Monkees." Albarn apparently named his next group Gorillaz to poke fun at this comment.'." However, others claim it's due to both Hewlett and Albarn were born in 1968, the year of the monkey. Finally, Radio X suggests its to maintain their anonymity, saying: "The band originally identified themselves as 'Gorilla', which could be a play on the word 'guerilla,' coming from the words guerilla warfare - which is a term used to describe underhand and un-open warfare tactics. "This makes sense when you consider we were never really meant to know who was behind the project... "Damon Albarn is now of course almost as synonymous with the hugely successful animated band as he is with Blur, but it wasn't meant to be that way. "'People weren't meant to know it was me,' Albarn told The Guardian back in 2017. "Even now I think, during the gigs, I'm going to be able to go off, go backstage and make myself a drink and a hologram will take my place for a couple of songs."
