Ngatimoti Festival, 22/10/06

Ngatimoti's a little village a few miles out of Motueka (top of the South Island, Aotearoa/New Zealand). We'd passed through and planted some trees on the Treewalk a week or so earlier. This little festival was a fundraiser for the school there, I think. We played for tea and cake.

It was a very rainy day, so we were happy to be in the cafe space under a roof. Originally this was meant to be more of a performance (Helen, Paul and Kristina), but that fell through, so they invited some friends along for a bit of a jam.

A mix of folk tunes, reggae songs, wholly improvised songs, folk tunes and jams. My saz was a bit too close to the mic, which is a bit of a shame. You have to kind of "listen through the mix" a bit with this one.
