When the Rolling Stones visited Invercargill in 1965, they got eggs and pies thrown at them. No wonder Keith Richards left behind a scatalogical slur about our southernmost city. But New Zealand musicians have always shown the Rolling Stones respect. With the release of Hackney Diamonds - the Stones' first album of original songs in 18 years - this episode of Blue Smoke looks at what gems local bands chose to polish.
Written, presented, and produced by Chris Bourke and engineered by Phil Benge.
