Overview
This record features the music of Nunfest 96 which was the 15th anniversary celebration of the iconic Flying Nun record label. Gigs were held in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. It was a huge undertaking for a small label and ‘only the most ardent fan would have tried to see it all’ (https://www.audioculture.co.nz/scenes/nunfest-96-the-empire-tavern-dunedin).
Musician Chris Knox designed the graphics. Knox had an enormous influence on New Zealand’s alternative music scene from the late 1970s.
