Finders Keepers Radio Show Episode Six – Festival No 6 Special

And The Sun Also Rises! As holiday season starts to distract us and it’s no longer safe to leave record bags in the hot boot, the residents of The Keepers Cottage decide to take a sonic vacation in this bonus edition of The Finders Keepers Radio Show with episode NUMBER SIX (cue Ron Grainer). What better numeric than the smallest positive integer to celebrate our love for all things related to The Prisoner/Portmeirion and the inimitable Festival No 6 at which Finders Keepers continue to play an integral role. Two short months in advance of our mass exodus to this North Wales nirvana our regular hosts Andy Votel, Pete Mitchell and Doug Shipton reveal line-ups for our three daily stages at the September 3rd-6th long weekender and play a varied crate of multilingual records spanning old and new prior to their festival live performances. Combining cosmic pop, pocket punk, foreign fuzz and soundtrack psych, this episode boasts exclusive debuts of brand new tracks by Gruff Rhys and David Holmes both of whom will play key roles in the Speedlearn Separado (Welsh-Patagonian) film tent followed by two days of live music from Finders Keepers and Bird Records (on the original location of Patrick McGoohan’s unrivalled 60’s TV location!). Joined in the studio by Electric Mountaineer Jane Weaver and Andy “T.R.A.S.E.” Popplewell (1980s teenage synth surgeon) what better place to encapsulate all this sneak preview material than our regular radiophonic fuzz fanzine and what better time for the uninitiated to discover both www.findersKeepersRecords.com and www.festivalnumber6.com as your new favourite purveyors of earworms, eye candy and “ultimate cakes & treats” just in time for the warping season. As they say in Porthmadog’s favourite communist ex-fed retirement village… “Be seeing you” xxxxxx
