Inspired, that’s how I feel when I’m at and leave Green Gathering . So much thought and care is put into making the festival inclusive, full of talks, music, poetry, art, weird and wonderful inspiring and beautiful! If you care about our planet and its animals and people then this is the festival to be at! You’ll hopefully leave refreshed, energised and as inspired as I do! Also it’s wonderful that these past two years they have booked two acts through Chanya Culture , hopefully more of that next year! One of my highlights was seeing, hearing and meeting Zack Polanski and being as impressed as I thought I’d be, he’s an authentic caring man who will hopefully one day be PM! Thanks WOW Choir and Green Gathering

Well Green Gathering was beautiful once again, and this time we came with Wales One World Choir who entranced the audience and were honoured to be introduced by Zack Polanski! It was a beautiful performance and you can see Zack dancing along, who also said it was his favourite performance of the weekend! Thanks Andrea and Alex again for having us! What a special festival it was! Also happy to see another familiar face performing later that day Suntou Susso Music who was going down a storm!
