Country Rock Fest alive and kicking
Country music fans from around the country descended on the Bay of Islands over the weekend for the 26th Country Rock Festival, headlined this year by Suzanne Prentice, Eddie Low and Brendan Dugan. More than 45 bands and solo artists played at eight venues in Paihia, Russell and Haruru Falls during the three-day event. The only name missing from this year’s programme was country legend and festival patron Dennis Marsh, who is making a good recovery at home from heart surgery. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
