The Searchers pop group in Wellington
I was fortunate enough to have met The Searchers twice in Christchurch but this time they are heading to the capital city,Wellington.
This is a popular month when many popular musicians in New Zealand reform their bands to entertain the public. Upper Hutt has been very fortunate over recent years to secure a concert by The Searchers from Liverpool, contempories of the Beatles.
The Searchers are playing again this year on Friday 16 January at Harcourt Park, Upper Hutt. The concert starts at 6:45pm with Itchycoo Park who feature two members from NZ Fourmuyla who toured to UK during the 60’s when the Searchers were underway. Alistar Richardson and Carl Evison are both well regarded in New Zealand.
Frank Allen who is the front man for the Searchers has already written one book Travelling Man about the Searchers with an introduction by Sir Cliff Richard and Mark Knoffler. He has another book underway and Upper Hutt, New Zealand is expecting a mention!
This concert at Harcourt Park is supported by Rimutaka Trust. It is a gold coin entry only.
