4 Wednesday March 6 2019 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi SELWYN TIMES Selwyn Sounds Rock music festival packs them in again • By Anan Zaki LINCOLN WAS rocking on Saturday as 8800 people descended there for the annual Selwyn Sounds concert. Festival organiser David Parlane said the event was “fantastic” with no issues or queuing or issues with crowd behaviour. “It [attendance] was slightly down from last year [10,000], but not a great deal down,” Mr Parlane said. Long queues at the bar, which plagued last year’s event were non-existent this year, he said. The highlight of the event was Kiwi rock icon Jon Stevens performing, Mr Parlane said. “He put out a hit record 39 years ago called Montego Bay, he hasn’t sung it or played in 39 years,” he said. “And he played it here at Selwyn Sounds for the first time in 39 years and everybody just went off. It was such a bloody fantastic moment.” Lincoln businesses and organisations were able to cash in on the event. “I know that Lincoln High School had something like 60 campervans there, and they would have around 1000 cars parked,” Mr Parlane said. “When you look at the sum, that’s about $7000 for the high school.” The event was a team effort, he said. “We’re looking at a 140 volunteers on the day, stage and crew of about 30 people and another 60 artists and management and crew coming in as well,” Mr Parlane said. Preparation is already under way for next year’s event. “We will look to be announcing early July with a line-up. We’ve got a few more signatures to put on a few more pieces of paper,” Mr Parlane said.
