THE JOY OF SIX
Portmeirion
again played host to "Festival Number 6" in September 2013,
and the event has been well received by both attendees and reviewers
(review HERE).
This year there was an increase in numbers to around 10,000 attendees,
with again the Village open only to ticket holders to view a mix of
big-name headline acts, local bands, and more intimate readings and
performances.
The bad weather led to some attendees leaving early, and some acts cancelled (as several of Portmeirion's stages were temporarily closed), but for most the weather did little to dampen a very enjoyable and successful weekend.
Highlights of the festival included Manic Street Preachers playing their only UK concert this year, closing with the iconic "Design for Life" from their 4th album, and the Brythoniaid male Voice choir (above left) who performed a mix of pop cover versions and classics such as "Myfanwy" (video HERE).
