Have you got the reggae/roots festival which has happened in Raglan in recent years? There's also been a similarly-themed festival in Kaikoura.

The reggae festivals are Soundsplash in Raglan - defunct now though; Raggamuffin in Rotorua (http://www.raggamuffin.co.nz/); and Kaikoura Roots Festival (possibly defunct now too). I also remember going to an odd little women's music festival somewhere in rural Taranaki in the early 80s... must have had a good time because I can't remember where or when! I'll see if I can find any more on that and let you know.

Hi Caren Thanks for this. I've now added Raggamuffin and Soundsplash (2007) to the map and Timeline. The latter has a website that says it was held at Wainui Reserve, Raglan in 2007 and that this was its sixth year. Apparently the first concert was held at the Raglan Town Hall. Can anyone provide more information about where Soundsplash was held 2003-2006 and whether or not 2007 was the final year - or anything else really? From a quick search I've been able to confirm the Kaikoura Roots Festival was held at least in 2003, 2005 and 2006 - can anyone tell us any more about this festival - how long it lasted, the exact venue location/s etc? The main internet sources I could find are CDs made of the bands who played there and this site: http://www.niceup.org.nz/reviews/kaikoura-roots Please leave a comment here or email [email protected] if you can help with any of these queries. Cheers, Jamie

The Nile River Music Festival at Charleston went into the early 90's, not 80's. I was at it when my house burnt down on my 21st birthday in 93 thats how I know :)

Yes Joanne, you're right. I played at the Nile River festival in 1994 and still have the poster and t-shirt!
