New Zealand Maori Band

[PottyEsq]

I love Rim's vocals. Him & Herma Keil are my faves of that era.

The best is the song he sings on the train at Kuirau Park in the film. (thats under Rim D Paul & The Quin Tikis now)

[PottyEsq]

These guys were awesome ! I've edited a few Quin Tikis clips from the film 'Don't Let It Get You' recently.

They're on my channel :)

[waynebrighton]

thanks for uploading-great memories-hope they did well.

[Rastatama]

Awesome to hear Rim back in the day when the musos played real instruments with no pre-recorded backing

[saanzacs]

i was just looking at the comment's that was about the Quin Tikis um Bill Rawhiti is my Grandfather he told me a lot of story's about being in the Quin Tikis wear thay went in New Zealand and Oversea's and much more.

[Amethyst888]

Do you have the rest of the movie?

[NgatiKuri1]

Well who would've thought!! Quin tikis eh. My Uncle Bill Rawhiti was bass player. He had a chain saw accident and lost four fingers saving a friends life but was still about to be a mean bass player with a mean smile!!

[NoodleBrutals]

One minute of bliss!

It looks like Kiri Te Kanawa in the audience shots.

Is this from an early NZ film?

[austinstein]

the audience is stoked ... !

This was filmed in 1963/64 theme to the movie Runaway. The Quin tiki's was Rim's last showband group before going solo. Yes Denis (with one 'n') is his name hence the 'D'in Rim D Paul, but not a name he used professionally. His cousins called him Dinny but thats as far as it went. He's currently HOD of music at Rotorua Boys High School.

Shades of the old pop back in the 50s. Very good!!

Thanks jimzvidz, that confirms what I had found also. Cheers.

[jimzvidz]

Just had a message from the madmaori(junior tuatara)who tells me the singer here was also a member of the Maori Hi Quins and goes by the name of Dennis Paul

[jimzvidz]

Back in the 60's a group called the Maori Hi Quins made it onto the TV in England...I think a few of them stayed on and became an annual attraction at Blackpool...Years later i met an ex member in a nightclub in Benidorm calling himself the Mad Maori and doing a brilliant act...Just out of curiosity i just Googled Mad Maori,to find he's got his own webpage at madmaori424 dot com..take a look

[marhope]

Hey who are these guys and who is singing?
