He's watching this thread though so with any luck, maybe he'll chip in at some point. That might be stretching the definition of fine musician a little. Roland Gift from FYC had a property up in the Coromandel for a while. Joe Walsh settled in NZ for a year or so when he was gigging with Herbs. Youth came over in the late 90's to check out some ethnic sounds. And lets not forget Shania Twain owns a place just outside Queenstown (although given the impending divorce, I'm not sure how long that will remain so). I also remember we had some UK session guitarist relocate to Chch in the early 90's and make a complete hash of opening his own recording studio there. I think his name was Billy...something, said he'd backed Boney M. All I remember was that was my first meeting with a real pro musician from the UK and he was a bit snotty. By contrast we had another session guitarist whose mother taught me in primary school, Mrs Rasmusson. Her hubby Hal had backed Heatwave at one point. They were both fantastic people. Shame she was only temping.[/quote] Hi All, Rob Burns here. Anyone who wants to email me can use [email protected]. Great that there's a forum like this.
