And now, the end is here, and we have faced the final curtain…the day has drawn in on the Harcourts Hawkes Bay Arts Festival. Seeing out the angels was Bic Runga, one on whom the overused status of “iconic” can justifiably be endowed.

Her songs are part of the great New Zealand songbook and are so ingrained in people’s memories that from hearing the first note of tracks like Sway you know instantly what it is, even if you hadn’t heard the song in years.
