Icons in their respective fields and admirers of one another's work, Stewart Lee and Richard Dawson discuss their creative processes as well as what they're up to at this years' festival.

Stewart Lee delivered an extended set at Green Man 2025 ("world's greatest living stand-up" - The Times)

An a cappella song about a man in the 1500s in Hexham, a 41-minute track, albums that channel the voices of past, present, and future: you never know what’s coming next from Northumbrian folk artist and storyteller Rich(ard) Dawson. His eighth album End of the Middle landed very recently, and he’s also dabbled in Finnish experimental rock, North Country blues, and jazzy psych-folk, raiding museum archives and releasing vinyl that plays inside-out.
