The Timeline of Country Music In New Zealand Part 2

From Afternoons, 2:22 pm on 17 September 2019

Last week on our Tuesday Music Feature we talked with musician and journalist Glen Moffatt about the first part of his Audioculture timeline of New Zealand's country music scene. He played some of the earliest examples of country music recorded in New Zealand and we listened to some of the notable stories and songs right up to around 1980.

He joins us again today to talk through the second part of his timeline - which was also published on Audioculture.co.nz last week. This takes us from around 1981 to almost the present day and features some familiar names like Brendan Dugan and the Topp Twins, Tami Neilson also and even our interviewee himself, Glen Moffatt.
