  • I didn't mean me personally. It's just that he left quite an impression when I met him. I know he's nice to all people.

  • Nice NZ Maori piece. I'm from Australia and holidayed across " the ditch " in 2007. I loved it and will surely return. John Rowles is also a treasure. I've met him on a couple of occaisions and he was a perfect gentleman to me both times. Great value too. I'd like to have a longer conversation with him.

  • Where was this performed? Please tell me it's Bastion Point back in 1990. If so, thank you thank you thank you! I was singing with the Friendly Road Childrens Choir at Bastion Point and we did the Maori background part that is rather high!

  • Hate to dissapoint you but it was at Aotea center. Was a bad ass concert! Gotta love Johnny Rowles!

  • Wow yup this brings back some memorys. Top of the south intimediate choir performance at Nelson Boys collage. 1991 I think. Tapawera boys represent did the haka to this song. But with way better moves. Classic Tu meke!

  • Al time favourite song! I was at this concert. I was about 11! Gotta love John Rowles!

  • Great, alost patriotic song about his home country. I'm an Aussie and New Zealand is very close to our eastern seaboard. I went there last year and visited John's birthplace of Whakatane. Gorgeous guy and great singer.
