The 6th annual two-day Aongatete Music Festival once again proved a resounding success as music echoed around a Katikati family orchard.
The festival presented by Katikati Folk Club and Tauranga Acoustic Music Club kicked off on Friday night with a "Blackboard Concert" with people invited to write their names down on the board to sing or play a musical instrument.
On Saturday, the festival continued with a full day of music under the fig trees at Eco Works, the orchard property of Paul Hoggard and Penny Rowsell in Work Rd, south of Katikati.

That included performances from headline acts The Wild Clovers [Paul and Penny are members] and The Wizard and Oz - the amazing duo of Andrew Farrell and David McMillan from Brisbane as well as other local musicians and guests.
