With rucksacks full of microphones and laptops, sleeping bags and the Radio New Zealand luxury tent, we trundle over the hill for our favourite little music festival, Camp A Low Hum 2009.
The venue is Camp Wainui - A Boys Brigade campground set in a massive 240 hectares of native bush, adjacent to an area where native Brown Kiwi are released back on to mainland New Zealand, which sets the scene for three days and nights of music, parties, renegade shows, old school games, a talent quest, and surprises.
