files
You have reached the Strange Stuff Page.  On this page you will find rare stuff and other interesting files relating to Bic Runga. 

Some of the files (e.g. MP3's and videos) are quite large so whats available here may change depending on my available disk space.

The MP3's here are provided for your listening pleasure.  In all cases, I have only provided an MP3 if the song is rare or unavailable outside NZ - it is not my intention to deprive either Bic Runga or Sony of their royalties.  If you like the music, please go and buy the official releases.
