Gŵyl Y Felinheli Festival 2007
What a great night it turned out to be!
The rain just about held off long enough for a fantastic time to be had by all. I must admit I had my reservations when we arrived at the site, clouds were dark and the odd heavy shower looked like it would dampen everyones spirit – but the supporters were amazing, braving the weather they clapped, cheered and danced and had a great time.
At half time the brothers Ynyr and Eurig Roberts from the group Brigyn did a superb acoustic bilingual set which was recieved very well – check out their web site at http://www.brigyn.com/english/home.html – these guys are really talented with some great, tight weaving vocal harmonies.
We finished off the night with “All you need is Love” by the Beatles, and as I looked out into the night beyond the bright lights of the stage I could just about make out the audience standing in a huge semi circle all holding hands and singing!
Who could have asked for more?
A great big thanks to Dafydd Mansel and the festival team for managing to keep their spirits going so high in such demanding circumstances.
Can’t wait for next year and perhaps some better weather!
