2023 Lineup
Manawatu band FERAL will be performing on the Saturday Night Live Camp Fest stage.
Feral is a good time, three piece kiwi rock outfit coming in off the farm for this show. You got it – guitar (Grant), drums (Clint) and bass (a hitchhiker they picked up on the way to the gig maybe?). With their fresh take on classic tunes and some home grown bangers these boys will give you plenty to boogie too if you make it to dance mode!
Feral is out last act for the night on the Camp Fest stage. With strict instructions to keep it fairly family-camp friendly the Feral boys are looking forward to giving their Marshall stack a work out and showing you what Manawatu lads get up to on the weekend!
Pip Payne - Performing live on the Saturday Night Live Camp Fest stage.
Pip has been a stalwart of the Wellington blues scene for decades and held in high regard for his authentic blues performance. In the tradition of the early blues players his “one man one guitar” music is all about texture and drive in a unique style all his own. With both acoustic and resonator guitars, ‘stomp box’ and slide Pip’s rhythm-led performance will have you tapping toes and getting your groove on in no time. This boy has got the beats for sure!
Originally from the UK Pip now lives in Sunny Otaki and can be found performing all around the North Island venues, events and festivals.

We are delighted to announce that
Karen Clarke Blues Woman will be performing on the Saturday Night Live Camp Fest stage.
Karen Clarke is one of New Zealand’s fine homegrown indie blues women.
With 25 years of live performance and two albums under her belt she's well and truly earned her piece of the heartland acoustic music stage. Taranaki represent!
It's pretty clear from the get go you are in safe hands at the gig. Mama's got you! K.C's power-packed performance is strong. Grounded. Built. Emotionally direct. Her strong sometimes silky sometimes sultry smoky vocal over driving rhythm guitar commands regard. She is firmly rooted where R'nB and Alt- Country collide. You'll detect a dalliance with folk and jazz too. Fans enjoy hints of Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Michelle Shocked and Tracey Chapman in Karen's mahogany vocal palette as she channels Sister Loretta Tharp's 'mother of blues' on stage determination.
Blending undeniable original work and upcycled favourites Karen brings upbeat or ambient entertainment for festivals, bars, cafes, events and private functions. You'll remember you've met.
Karen is also an All Points Camping Club NZ member and has been motorhoming for yonks!
