Lola Austin - piano player

From Afternoons, 2:22 pm on 15 August 2012

Lola Austin had her first piano lesson when she was just 5 years old, 74 years ago. Since that first lesson, she spent countless hours practising, and it paid off. As a classical pianist, she featured in shows and concerts up and down New Zealand in the 1950s and 60s and she recorded the first ever classical piano LP in New Zealand.
