Sixteen years after thinking it would be good to document the music of some of the bands in his home town, Flying Nun founder Roger Shepherd leaves the company.
It's a time of rebuilding, many of the long-time acts have called it a day, and popular music and the music business have changed almost beyond recognition. Association with an ever-expanding international music company impacts on Flying Nun, but as the label celebrates it's 21st year, international success again looks possible for some Flying Nun acts.
