Supergroove plays Paihia It! Festival

More than 2000 people packed Paihia’s Village Green in blazing sunshine for the It! Bay of Islands Food and Wine Festival on Saturday, headlined this year by Supergroove. The legendary 1990s funk rockers put on a high-energy, crowd-pleasing show and gave three young Far North musicians a thrill by inviting them on stage as guest musicians. Also performing were the Kerikeri High School Jazz Band, Penny Royalty, The Funky North and Scarlet Fever. Festival-goers who weren’t full after competing in the pie-eating, kina-sucking and oyster-shucking contests could choose from dozens of stands offering Northland food and wine.
