Fred Dagg would have approved. At Sunday’s 10am service at the Waiapu St John Cathedral in Napier the clergy wore gumboots under their robes. And all the parishioners had theirs on too. Some had even decorated their gumboots for the occasion.
The Fred Dagg theme was reflected in a special “hymn” which had been arranged by the cathedral’s director of music Gary Bowler.
It was rumoured that there was even a spot of gumboot throwing after the service.
