In 1967, or maybe '68, I was a cameraman for AKTV2 in Auckland working on a show called "The Country Touch". Hamilton County were the resident band and I knew then they were terrific. Great to hear them still as good or even better.
GREAT to see that this long-time band is still together and playing fabulously! I remember the first article about them in Bluegrass Unlimited in the late 60s! Did they ever come to the USA?
Recorded at the Wellington Bluegrass Society, Wellington New Zealand on 15th July 2006, They are still playing from time to time in NZ, Google them to find out where they've been since 1970s in Australia
this a classic band in Kiwi music from the sixties and seventies World class with Paul and Colleen Trenwith on Banjo and fiddle and Dave Calder on Mandolin .love to see any more .Elle ,can you help .
I'm trying to find a copy of HCBB "live at the Wynyard Tavern". any help out there?

a search for Bluegrass Society New Zealand will bring you a list of bluegrass clubs in NZ with contacts. I'll work on more video....
