A profilic recording guitarist, Peter Posa was born the son of Dalmatian wine growers from Henderson, New Zealand. He began plying guitar at seven, started recording at 18 and turned professional at 20. His most succesful record was "The White Rabbit" which reached the charts in most Australian states in 1963. He was a technically proficient player and used multi-tracking to good effect, reminding one of Les Paul on occasions.
Instrumentalists probably enjoyed their moment of chart success more in the sixties than any other era with Peter Posa certainly leading the way in New Zealand. His 1963 hit The White Rabbit not only won over Kiwi's but also made it into the Australian top twenty. Peter went on to record an amazing nineteen albums and enjoyed a string of chart hits including Wheels and Grasshopper.
