Janice Ramage


After moving from Invercargill to Tauranga in the 1970s, Janice Ramage joined the local country music club simply to meet people. During the next decade she took singing up seriously, won a bucketful of awards and released records on the Kontact and RCA Victor labels.

In 1976, Ramage won the New Zealand Gold Guitar Award in Gore and was crowned the New Zealand Country Music Association’s entertainer of the year in 1981, the same year her debut single was released.
