Being exposed to an unusually wide range of music from an early age helped land me my first
broadcasting job, in Hamilton. New Zealanders are highly regarded in the global radio industry, and that
                               helped me through the door at the BBC in London. Crossing live to the
                               Royal Albert Hall was quite a thrill for a young chap from Katikati. Settling
                               back in Auckland in 1980, by chance the year the Auckland Philharmonia
                               began, I soon acquired a habit of regular evenings in the Town Hall.
                                As what’s now known as a gig worker, organising talking book and
                                magazine production at The Blind Foundation is part of my portfolio, as is
                                work in the NZME Newsroom presenting bulletins on networks including
                                News Talk ZB, Hauraki, Coast and Rhema. And I still spend regular
                                evenings in the Town Hall ‘loving the Phil’ working in the Auckland Live
                                Front of House team.

                                 Patricia gained recognition singing at the major venues in London and
                                 throughout the UK. She recorded for the BBC in both live performances
                                 and recording studios. She was placed second in the prestigious Benson
                                 and Hedges Gold Award for singers and represented NZ in the Cardiff
                                 Singer of the World competition. Returning to NZ in 1993, she continued

orchestras, oratorio and recital concerts both at home and internationally.
