<p>The profiles in both volumes of New Zealand Musicians in Australia give readers insights Into the ways those musicians (& bands), who came from 1959 - 1976 more than pulled their weight as they contributed to Australian pop & rock in that era. The timeline begins with Johnny Devlin coming to Australia. He was the first high-profile New Zealand rock and roller to arrive. There had been Mãori concert parties and showbands in Sydney before him, and in many respects, the showbands and their professionalism helped to pave the way for those who followed. The musicians, recording engineers & the bands featured in Volume One are those who have had long careers here. Some of them now in their 70s continue to perform in Australia."-- Back cover.</p>
