Auckland, Jan 27 NZPA - The third annual Ragamuffin festival at Rotorua on Saturday raised $8300 for earthquake-devastated Haiti.

The Raggamuffin Music Festival is pleased to announce LAURYN HILL will join the 2010 bill.

Despite his death 28 years ago, the music of Bob Marley still reverberates around the world. His backing band the Wailers, two incarnations of them, are still spreading the vibe.

Waitangi day was Bob Marley's birthday, even though he is technically dead. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon a most excellent gig in celebration of the aforementioned follower of Halle Selassie at Sammy's night club.
