Looking back on R&V2024, we often forget some of the big moments, none more than Messie and her friends taking over the Cellar Stage at the Waiohika Warmup.

Our first Behind the Vines chat at R&V 2024 involved sitting down with two of Gisborne's own musical powerhouses - Messie and Hyan - for a quick fire chat about what Tairawhiti means to them, some local tips and general banter.

Watch the full interview with Tesse Messie and Hyan to get the complete scoop on their R&V journey, festival tips, and what makes performing in Tairāwhiti so special.

Looking forward to Waiohika Warmup 2025. Lineup coming soon. Missed Messie's set, catch it here
