STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOR LATER
The directors of Strawberry Fields music festival have decided not to proceed with the annual event in Raglan in February 1996. The reasons are: due to substantial losses in 1995 we are not in a strong enough financial position to finance the event creditably; the summer calendar is quite crowded with The Big Day Out and Mountain Rock both on again, not to mention other as yet unannounced acts; we need a holiday! Strawberry Fields is an exhausting exercise and we are still dealing with this year’s festival. Thanks to all the musicians and crew who have supported us over the last five festivals. We feel it would be better to take a year off than to attempt Strawberry Fields lacking in energy and resources, and thus present a half baked festival.
We will definitely be back in 1997, with our strongest line-up yet. Same venue! Same time! Same vibe! Thanks again to everyone who has supported us. Most of all, thanks to the music fans.
Jim Rowe, Brenda Kidd, Gos, Jonesy, Phil, Chrissie, Strawberry Fields, Raglan.
