@Riffharder Elvis Costello was great there, also remember Split Enz playing "Charlie" seemed particularly good there. I remember the truck for the portaloos broke down or something & they were totally choked up - gross
Yeah..81.. Hello Sailor played in 80 and Brazier was off his face after returning from USA.. He dropped the mike at one stage and couldn't pick it up !
I went to sweetwaters 1981,82.83 and saw so many kiwi bands, still got my tickets and programmes for 2 of them and a copy of sweetwaters news that was printed onsite.got posters too.

Tthis was definitely 1981 not 1980 (I was there for both). Excellent none the less.

pretty sure this was 1981, not 1980....I don't think Karen Hay started doing RWP until the beginning of 1981.
