• "A really appreciative audience soaked up both the support group from Fiddlelore and the main artists WHISKEY BUSINESS! Varied sets mixed from energetic bluegrass to quiet country folk songs, including lesser known Gillian Welch and Elvis Costello harmonies adding drama, with some well known tunes thrown into the mix. A wide selection of songs - and definately some surprises- that can be played with guitar, accordion, mandolin, flute and kazoo, and up to 3 part harmonies! Unusual and rare night for those who braved the Whangarei elements. The audience even got to participate with "tap dancing" and singing along! Grace and Penelope joined in with violin, guitar, and voice the last song for the evening."

• "GRACE JONES tops the bill for me! I have been waiting decades to see her - knowing she has been taking her show around the world in recent decades - but never to New Zealand. I use to play Pull Up To The Bumper from her LP Record before other people knew who she even was! I play Libertango myself on accordion and it is my theme song!! Even more interesting to see her in the outside venue at Puhinui where we had the Sweetwaters REunion (which headlined Elvis COstello - so it will be his second performance in that venue!!) . Add on the gobsmacking lineup of all the other world class and supporting blues artists in particular BB King - CLASSIC! PLus the NZ'ers - world class!!"

• "The Best Place i camped at was SPLORE quite a few years back on the Coromandel Peninsular where the camping areas had crazy themes and were all decorated up fabulously. AND running through the camping area was a meandering stream with art works around the edges and even in the stream - the best was a set of big cups and saucers (even with "toast" on) each one perched on a long rod stuck into the base of the stream, so the cups and saucers waved above the water!!!! Even ;longer a go than that the other fantastic place was at one of the early Nambassa's at Waiotawheta in the Karangahake Gorge, where I took an old four wheel drive vehice and an old parachute, and we set up the first womenspace (with women from all around NZ - we didnt wear any clothes) high up on the hill beside the australian aboriginals above Nambassa."
