The Mariner’s Children are without a doubt one of the best things to have ever happened ever. I’d dread to think how many times we’ve caught them live now, and they just keep getting better. We’ve watched them grow from a lineup of just 3 (which I might add was still INCREDIBLE) to an epic collective of seven awesome players all doing their bit to create something undeniably unique and genuinely heartfelt. Ben’s voice still absolutely kills me every time, and his lyrics are nothing short of phenomenal (“Your breath pirouettes through the cold and the wet, rising up like a ghost in the morning”).
So, they’re currently involved in The Green Poll to open up The Green Man Festival. This would be nothing short of ‘the balls’. They need votes to do it though, so get clicking here. You can re-vote every 24 hours, and your vote could win you a weekend ticket to the festival, and my eternal love. Spread the word.
