I Need Your Love - goldern harvest

[Sojahseh7]

Does anyone know how to contact any member of Golden Harvest? For an NZ Film. Appreciate the love. These guys are the owesome. Choice da doice.

[smartcooky99]

Update: I just remembered, they changed their name TO Golden Harvest, from their original name... "Brothers" which is what they were when I first saw them at the "The Gluepot" in Ponsonby

[smartcooky99]

Fantastic!!! Where on earth did you find this? These guys played at pubs all over Auckland in the mid 1970's, then won single of the year in 1978 with this song. All the musicians (not the vocalist) were brothers I think, Kevin, Gavin, Eru and I can't remember the other one. IIRC the ban had a name change their name shortly after this was released, but I can't for the life of me remember what they changed it to.
