FESTIVAL NO.6 VILLAGE LIMITS PORTMEIRION 09.09.18 (greg wilson live mix) by gregwilson published on 2018-09-12T09:51:05Z Festival No.6 has been a yearly highlight of recent times, its location unique. Tucked away on the North Wales coast in a magical village and famous as the location for the classic ’60s TV show ‘The Prisoner’, Portmeirion is truly a place plucked out of the imagination – an Italian fantasy creation of architect Clough Williams-Ellis, who designed and built it over a 50-year period. Unfortunately the September weather often fails to rise to the occasion, which was apparently the case on Saturday. I played on the Sunday, my 3rd appearance at Village Limits in its enchanted woodland environment, complete with floating dancefloor (you don’t see one of those every day) beneath a huge mirrorball. As we set out on the drive it was in hope, rather than expectation, that the rain would hold off, and I’m pleased to report that the gods were with us, people able to dance to their heart's content without getting soaked wet through in the process. It turned out to be a fitting Village Limits finale, not just for this year, but until the festival returns – next year they’ve decided to take a sabbatical to re-strategize for the future, with many people left wondering if this could be the last one, at least in its current guise. If so, it’ll certainly be missed by my friends and family – we always arrive pretty mob handed, lots of people heading in from Merseyside and Manchester, linking up with others from far and wide. I have to say that the production and artist liaison was outstanding this year, everyone invested in what they’re doing and setting the right environment for those performing. Special thanks to Amy and Jenna, such lovely people to be looking after you. The full recording is now up on SoundCloud, available to stream/download. It was a gig that was sandwiched between an afternoon talk in the Dome Gallery and closing the VIP area between 11-1, which was big fun! I really hope Festival No.6 will be back after a year’s hiatus, there's nothing quite like it. If not there’ll be many happy memories of gigs in a variety of special spaces. Its surreal quality is something that sets it apart, and all the creative set-building in the world can only provide a façade of what here is real and permanent. But even with all that, it comes down to the crowds you play for, and those at No.6 make the most of the surroundings, regardless of the weather, partying through a weekend like no other. Thanks to all of you who’ve partied away to the tunes I’ve played there during the past 6 years on this spectacular festival site.
