6 September 2015: After all the build-up, there was a crackle of anticipation in the air as the gigantium personality of Grace Jones entered the fray at Festival No.6 this weekend.
Some had been sceptical about her musical credentials while others were just ready to bather in her insane majesty.
In terms of putting on a show she didn't disappoint. Exotic headdresses, occasional body-painted toplessness and male pole dancers were just some of the joys on offer. She even managed to keep up her stage patter while not on stage, her roving mic giving her disembodied voice a slightly ghost-like quality during the costume changes that arrive between each song.
But that's not to say the music is to be discounted. A debut for new song Shenanigans showed that she is still capable of writing the kind of tracks that give substance to her madcap show. By the time she hula-hoops her way through the last track of the evening even the initially sceptical are dancing to her tune.
