I was at the Marae when herbs came to Ruatoria and sang this song for the first time many of the old ones in the video are gone and many of the young ones have grown up and moved on.How time flies.
Yip … those were the dayz sittin outside Tapu pub with the pig dogs, my brother 6 me 5 after dad had gone huntin, stumblin out with a raseberry and potato chips. Us playin with the kids.. No moaning here!!
Happy days xxoxx
This is awesome…I’m a big fan of progressive rock music, and if you look back you’ll find that Charlie Tumahai, the singer here, was in legendary British prog rock band Be Bop Deluxe…this guy is diverse, and super super talented.
