A late update.
So here are some acts that made a greater imptession on us and were well worth the effort to see.
Local paper loves it
DAKHABRAKHA
A eclectic band from Ukraine whose music was varied and very interesting. They certainly were there to promote support their country’s current war with Russia.
GOOD HABITS
An English folk couple who play cello and accordion and who make innovative use of their instruments and ideas. They have spent a lot of time in New Zealand before, having become ‘trapped’ here during the pandemic lockdown.
LISA O’NEILL
The folk singer from Ireland who was the inspiration for us togo to the festival. She was on twice and the second time, at the more intimate stage, was bettr. A great voice aided simply by the guitar.
PONGO
An artist from Angola wasa good and surprise find. She was very engaging with he crowd and brought some liveliness to the proceedings.
Otherwise, Ziggy Marley was ok and Shaz loved Lady Shaker a Kiwi dance music purveyor/ DJ.
