About the author

Neil Colquhoun enjoyed a long career as a music specialist educator in schools. Performance with Rona Bailey and Jim Delahunty at the 1957 Auckland Festival of the Arts began his interest in New Zealand folk song. Since then he has collected, performed and recorded New Zealand song, and where the music has been lost he has recreated appropriate and beautiful tunes.
