Reggae festival Kiwi Grooves gets underway with Tobias.
A hastily prepared rhythm and blues festival at Waitara sent many of its hundreds of attendees home with a warm soul, and lasting memories. The Kiwi Grooves concert on Saturday, featuring some of the country’s finest R and B musicians, was put together with only four weeks’ notice after organisers spotted a similar gig in Northland. Festival co-promoter Gina Blackburn said in spite of the short promotion period the crowd response was heartening. “It was a fantastic turn out with a really good crowd of around 900,” she said.
