Smokefreerockquest Far North final

Kerikeri/Moerewa R&B rock band Cypruss took out top honours at Friday night’s Smokefreerockquest at Kerikeri’s Turner Centre. The nationwide contest for high school bands, solo artists and duos is now in its 26th year but Friday’s event was the first ever Far North final. The top bands in each category now have a chance to compete in the national finals, a path followed by many of New Zealand’s top bands. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
