Millie Manders & The Shutup

Lauren 14th April 2021 Bands

With more raw punk fusion than you can shake a stick at, Millie’s lyricism pokes fun, draws you in and leaves you questioning social norms… teamed with incredible vocal dexterity, grinding guitars, irresistible horn hooks and a pumping rhythm section, the Millie Manders Music Machine’s live shows are electric and her songs infectious.

Us peeking through winter to an exciting year ahead! 💫

GG 2022 is coming and we CAN'T WAIT to see you all again 💚

GET YOUR SUSTAINABLY SOURCED GLAD RAGS ON FOLKS 💃

Because we've decided that at GG 2022, every day will be Dress-Up Day!!

One more FUN piece of news to finish off the year. After months and months of pandemic worries and restrictions, many of us hardly going out - and when we do venture out not always feeling fabulous - our favourite fanciest clothes have been languishing unworn.

Do you have things at the back of your wardrobe, maybe bought on a whim, from a funky second hand stall at a festival or worn to some super special occasion years ago... outfits that just seem a bit too frivolous, impractical, attention-seeking?

THESE are the clothes to wear to GG 2022!

It’ll be our 10th Birthday, the tenth Green festival in Piercefield Park, and if a 10 year old’s birthday party isn’t the perfect occasion to wear your most flamboyant clobber we don’t know what is!!

So hang onto your flamenco dress, wedding dress, sequinned catsuit, top hat and tails, Cinderella ballgown, slinky chainmail number, tiger suit, tasselled bikini, rainbow-striped raincoat and fishnet tights. Try them on and dance about at home in them, maybe swap items with friends, then come festival time… stuff them into stuff-sacks (no one’ll notice or care about the creases) and be your brightest self at The Green Gathering.

IMPORTANT: This is definitely a don’t-buy-anything-new challenge!

Happy new turn around the sun everyone. Let’s give 2022 all we got.

We’re creating MOON LOOS at GG 2022! 🚽 Cardi

We’re creating MOON LOOS at GG 2022! 🚽

Cardiff-based musician Francesca Dimech ( @misswordsalad ) - who was booked for The Green Gathering 2021, if only covid hadn't stopped play - stirred up a fabulous conversation about festivals and periods recently.

The BBC picked up on it and we chatted with you, our festival audience, on social media to crowdsource ideas and tips to make life easier for people having periods at GG next year.

The evidence that we love you, and listen to you, is here...

We're going to have Moon Loos!

These will be dedicated loos for people having periods, with a private area for handwashing, emptying moon cups and washing reuseable period wear.

Plus, as in 2019, we're aiming to have a range of #PlasticFreePeriod options available at reasonable prices on site.

So there you go - this shows how shouting about stuff can really help, and how simple it can be to help each other festival. Wins all around.

A new area for GG 2022: Transformative Adaptation

A new area for GG 2022: Transformative Adaptation (TrAd)

Many of us are dealing with a concept called climate grief, or climate anxiety. Feelings of being overwhelmed, both by the very existence of the climate crisis and wider inaction to deal with it.

Our TrAd area will aim to help with this. Transformative Adaptation is all about accepting and working with the reality and grief of climate change and biodiversity loss, while remaining positive about taking action to mitigate further losses. It's about liberation from damaging systems and behaviours, and building resilient communities.

This area will be about listening, sharing, connecting - and imagineering.

We'll have lots more info from the TrAd Team over the coming months. Watch this space, and find out a wee bit more in the meantime through the link in our bio.
