Guest artists:
The Shot Band - The Shot Band: a Wellington acoustic kiwi alt country band whose music has been entertaining New Zealand audiences for seven years.
“sparkling with variety and imagination” - Mike Hoolihan, Christchurch Press

Del Girl - Ask Erin Morton, Lynn Vare and John Dodd to describe the Delgirl sound and they'll scratch around for the right words. Acoustic, country-blues? Harmony-rich folk-reggae fusion?

We have a gorgeous camping area on Waihi Bush Organic Farm, with 15 ha of virgin native bush, and a river with swimming holes. We have running tap water from our spring & composting toilets (smell free), and there are BBQs available.

There will be the same gourmet food stall as last year, run by Dereck Tutton who used to own the EasyWay café in Geraldine. Plus the Eco Coffee Stall, for life's little essentials.

There is lots of parking for cars and buses, with gravelled access. Pets must be controlled at all times.
