Just picked up this book, by Chris Bourke, which came out shortly before Christmas - fantastic stuff. It is packed with tales about this forgotten era of popular music and various things I never knew about. For instance, the 1930 jazz promotional film shot in Rotorua by Epi Shalfoon's Melody Boys:
Or how about New Zealand's very own 1950s Exotica LP?

(Bill Sevesi & His Islanders, 1958) And not forgetting Maori popular music:
(Unknown group from Wanganui, 1930) It can be purchased from this site: CN |
