Festival No.6: Nile Rodgers on good times in Colwyn Bay in 1970s

More than 10,000 people failed to be put off by strong winds and heavy rain to turn out for Wales' fastest-growing music festival.

Fans gathered at Portmeirion in Gwynedd over the weekend to watch 300 acts, including Manic Street Preachers, Johnny Marr and Gruff Rhys, at Festival No.6.

Some performances had to be dropped because of the weather, but there was a surprise Welsh homecoming for one global superstar.

Nile Rodgers of Chic, who performed at the festival, spoke to Sue Charles about how he lived in Colwyn Bay for a time in the early 1970s.
