SWEET SOUNDS: St Andrew’s College year 12 students Lewis Edmond and Jenna Wells performing at the 41st National Youth 

Jazz Competition. 

Bittersweet win for St Andrew’s big band 

• By Sophie Cornish 

THE ST Andrew’s College big 

band had extra incentive to 

win at the National Youth Jazz 

Competition – bass player, Tom 

Fastier, collapsed and died the 

day before the competition 

began. 

“Tom was a bass player from 

Cashmere High School who was 

playing with our big band this 

year. He had a strong chance of 

winning best bass player at the 

festival as he was a very accomplished 

musician,” head of music 

Duncan Ferguson said. 

“We were delighted to win, but 

it was bittersweet,” he said. 

St Andrew’s won the most 

outstanding big band title at the 

competition in Tauranga. 

The band dedicated its set to 

Tom, who died while on his way 

to Cashmere High on March 27. 

His death was possibly related to 

a medical event.

Board 

launches 

petition 

to get new 

community 

facility 

• By Sophie Cornish and Julia Evans 

THE PAPANUI-Innes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to fight the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being collected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

planned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hills Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

The removal of funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jones said the board’s role 

is to represent the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfilling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and annual 

plans are all about lobbying the 

council.”

TOP MARKS to the St Andrew’s College 

big band for coping with the massive 

emotional hurdle they had to deal with at the 

recent National Youth Jazz Competition 

(see page 1). 

Band member Tom Fastier died tragically the day before the 

festival. Not only did the band play but they won the big band title 

– and that is an exceptional achievement given the circumstances. 

As the college’s head of music Duncan Ferguson said: “We were 

delighted to win, but it was bittersweet.” 

St Andrew’s also stood out from an individual point of view. 

Serge Beaton won the Rodger Fox Trophy for the most outstanding 

trombonist and Angus Rainey won the Edwina Thorne Trophy 

for the most outstanding trumpet or flugel. 

Well done.

Government’s announcement

Plans reveal indoor learner’s pool 

• By Sophie Cornish and 

Julia Evans 

THE NEW Edgeware Pool 

will not look anything like it’s 

predecessor, new plans have 

revealed. 

Just-released designs for the 

$4.5 million-$5 million project 

show the complex will include 

an indoor learner’s pool, which 

will be a major source of income 

for the facility. 

Initially the 

facility was set 

to have two 

heated outdoor 

pools – but the 

learner pool will 

move indoors, 

Pauline 

Cotter 

while the 25m 

pool will remain 

outside. The 

new designs also include a small 

gym, car park and outdoor area. 

The St Albans Pool and Pavilion 

group commissioned the 

plans from Apollo Design, the 

designers of QE II Park. 

Group spokesman Stephen 

Anderson said it is pleased with 

the plans and pricing. 

He said the indoor pool would 

add a revenue stream, as well as 

“mitigate any concerns” neighbours 

had with noise. 

The complex will have no 

operating cost for the ratepayer 

as it is an entirely community

will cost more than $20

“To cover the indoor pool 

means they can get revenue all 

year round,” she said. 

Cr Cotter said the model being 

used in Edgeware should be used 

in communities across the city. 

The group gained resource 

consent to build a complex on 

the Edgeware Rd site after a 

hearing last March. In 2016 the 

city council sold the group the 

land for $1.

reopens its doors in June.

Board from manager operations 

recreation and sports unit Nigel 

Cox said in the 2016-17 financial

Cartwright steps down as chairman 

MacDonald 

wants to 

lead board 

• By Julia Evans 

FENDALTON-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

chairman David Cartwright has 

stayed true to his word. 

Mr Cartwright tabled his 

resignation as chairman at last 

Monday’s board 

meeting. 

He said it was 

always his plan 

to step down 18 

months into the 

role. 

Sam 

MacDonald 

“That was 

always the intent 

from day one, that 

I would do half a 

term,” he said. 

Mr Cartwright said he was 

stepping aside to let other 

board members take on more 

responsibility. 

“It’s about building expertise 

and giving people a chance . . . 

there are very capable people on 

the board.” 

Mr Cartwright disclosed he 

recently “had a birthday with a 

zero in it” and had received some 

fly fishing gear. 

RETIRING: David Cartwright (left) will step down as Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community 

Board chairman on Monday. He recently awarded Peter Lawrence first place in the board’s 

garden awards.

“So maybe there will be a bit 

more time for fly fishing but I’ll 

still be working hard in my role 

as Fendalton representative,” he 

said. 

The board will vote in a 

new chairperson at its next 

meeting on Monday. Until then, 

Mr Cartwright will remain 

chairman.

MacDonald told Nor’West News 

that he would be putting his 

hand up for the job and wants 

Mr Cartwright to take over as 

deputy. “I’m confident I will have 

the support to be chair, I will be 

nominating David as my deputy 

as we make an excellent team,” 

Mr MacDonald said. 

Mr Cartwright was first 

elected to the board in 2010. 

He served as deputy under 

chairwoman Val Carter during 

his second term from 2013 

until being elected chairman in 

2016. 

During a city council meeting 

on Thursday, Mr Cartwright 

was thanked by Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel for his time as chairman. 

“It’s been great to have you in 

the role,” she said.

Weed could 

jeopardise 

fishing event 

THE ANNUAL Take A Kid 

fishing day at The Groynes could 

be in jeopardy if the lakes it uses 

are not cleaned up. 

Organiser Kids Fishing 

Charitable Trust approached the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board with concerns 

the huge amount of weed was 

enough to cancel this year’s event. 

Board member Aaron Campbell 

said: “We need to get this fixed . . . 

it’s a real possibility it may not go 

ahead.” 

City council staff are investigating 

options for cleaning up the 

weed, said head of parks Brent 

Smith. 

Approaching Canterbury University’s 

Student Volunteer Army 

about the possibility of a joint 

project is one option. 

Mr Campbell said the trust had 

organised a working party and 

spent more than 30 hours trying 

to clear the lake with manpower. 

But it was going to take more than 

that. 

“The option of having one of 

the weed remover barges from the 

Avon, Heathcote or out at the Styx 

was discussed,” he said. 

Mr Campbell said weed was an 

issue in lakes and rivers city-wide 

due to the hot, wet summer.

Rotary raises $130k for groups in need 

ROTARY PAPANUI has had 

a busy start to the year, raising 

more than $130,000 for local 

organisations. 

The group has had several 

campaigns in the works, which 

the community is reaping the 

benefits of. 

Every year the group organises 

the gift wrapping stations at 

Northlands Shopping Centre. 

Rotarians used their organisational 

skills to help 10 local youth 

groups raise money. 

The 10 groups raised about 

$1500-1700 each, which will go 

towards youth camps, pre-school 

play equipment, special needs 

equipment, secondary school 

trips, sports and cultural events. 

The group also partnered with 

Mega Mitre 10 on Harewood Rd, 

which supplied a trailer filled 

with more than $8000 in prizes 

for a raffle fundraiser. 

The $27,000 raised was divided 

between St John, The Canterbury 

Charity Hospital and The Papanui 

Children in Need Trust. 

The money has sent St John 

paramedics on training courses, 

helped children with school 

uniforms, stationery supplies 

and camps, as well as funded 

operations which people could 

otherwise not afford. 

Papanui Rotarians volunteered 

more than 600 hours of service.

Frocks, Feathers & Fabrication 

John Emery’s latest exhibition at Little River Gallery 

Although born and raised in the American Midwest, 

John Emery has spent the past twenty-five years shuttling 

back and forth between Dayton, Ohio and Burkes Pass, 

New Zealand, where he established a second home and 

studio in 2000. 

“It is not just the object, but also its history--its 

veritable shadow-- that I set out to record in my work. 

It is the fragmented story that haunts me. Memories, 

symbolism, physical similarities, all play a part in creating 

the “fabrication”. Objects are often from a bygone era, or 

worn with repeated use, 

reflecting time’s passage. 

At times they are literally 

in pieces: the shattered 

porcelain, the cast-off 

sardine tin, a bird feather, 

or watching the flight of a 

fantail. In reclaiming them 

for my own tromp l’oiel 

still life constructions, I 

conjure them into a new 

world. Like life itself, 

each work resonates with 

both the story and history 

associated with some 

objects, and the imagined 

The Invincibles 

Killer Look 

potential of others. 

My painting process typically begins with a solitary 

object, a toy bear, or a Victorian hunting dress. A visual 

narrative is then constructed in the same way that I 

fabricated stories about the neglected objects found in 

my grandparents’ long forgotten trunks. As with all my 

works, some elements become three-dimensional as I 

form them from paper, the most versatile material I know” 

John Emery. 

Time flies over us, but 

leaves its shadow behind.

Retaining top spot aim of chorus 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

A TOP a cappella American 

coach is helping some of the 

city’s best barbershop singers 

win a national competition for 

the 11th time. 

Lea Beverley will be working 

with the Christchurch City 

Chorus over the next month to 

help it win the Sweet Adelines 

New Zealand 

regional contest 

in May at 

Wellington. 

Already the 

chorus is one 

of Australasia’s 

highest 

achieving 

Lea Beverley 

women’s a cappella choruses 

having won the national competition 

10 times in a row. 

Beverley arrived in the city 

last weekend and is touring the 

country to teach other a cappella 

singers. 

“I love New Zealand . . . the 

people are amazing, the country 

is beautiful and the singers 

throughout the country are so 

devoted to getting better,” Beverley 

said. 

She said she will be mostly 

working on helping the chorus 

to sing “with a lot of emotion.” 

“I work on the technical elements 

like singing the vowels 

properly . . . consonants and 

singing all the words together,” 

she said. 

As part of its preparations 

for the competition, the chorus 

will present concert A Cappella 

Champions On Show at St Margaret’s 

College later this month 

to preview its competition package. 

The show will be hosted by 

Beverley. 

The chorus performed the 

show to finish fifth in the 2016 

Sweet Adelines International 

Chorus Competition in Las 

Vegas. 

“We want to be first one day 

but we are slowly creeping 

up,” musical director Virginia 

Humphrey-Taylor said. 

She said the chorus got Beverley 

to help train the new people 

joining. 

“New people are always joining 

the group . . . we want to 

make sure everybody is trained. 

We always have new music we 

have to sing at a high level,” she 

said. 

The chorus is hoping to win in 

Wellington so it can take part in 

the international competition in 

New Orleans next year. 

Humphrey-Taylor said the 

chorus will be taking on more 

“show music” this year performing 

songs including Elton John’s 

Can You Feel the Love Tonight 

and Vera Lynn’s A Nightingale

Beverley first came to New 

Zealand to teach in 2009 and 

has since judged the regional 

competition three times. 

She is classically trained as a 

pianist, but joined Sweet Adelines 

22 years ago. 

Three of the choruses she runs 

have won nine regional competitions 

and placed in the top 10 in 

the international competition 

six times. The Christchurch City 

Chorus will perform A Cappella 

Champions On Show at the 

Charles Luney Auditorium, St 

Margaret’s College on April 21.

Bittersweet 

win for 

St Andrew’s 

big band 

•From page 1 

Mr Ferguson said schools 

sometimes share musicians 

to play instruments that they are 

lacking. 

“For the first 

time in the 

festival’s history, 

organisers and 

judges allowed 

the band director/teacher 

to 

Tom Fastier 

play in place of 

Tom on the bass,” he said. 

St Andrew’s also won a combo 

silver award and a big band gold 

award. 

Serge Beaton won the Rodger 

Fox Trophy for the most outstanding 

trombonist and Angus 

Rainey won the Edwina Thorne 

Trophy for the most outstanding 

trumpet or flugel. 

Said competition director Liam 

Ryan: “We had a record number 

of registrations – 320 students 

from 21 secondary schools as 

far and wide as Christchurch 

and Wellington. Due to this we 

added an extra day to cater for 

the 18 combos and 14 big bands 

performing.”

Readers respond to the 

article about freedom 

camping outside Burnside’s 

Waimairi Cemetery on 

Grahams Rd 



Local 


Now 


Cherry Cornelius – Once 

again they are not freedom 

campers, they do not have 

facilities in their cars such 

as a toilet, shower or enough 

water for their needs. They will 

be there so they can use the 

running water which is in every 

cemetery for hand washing. 

They will be doing the washing 

– dishes, body and clothing. 

I’m willing to bet most will be 

urinating behind the fence. We 

freedom camp, the difference 

is we have complete self 

containment. 

They are free-loaders and free 

litterers. Please don’t ever put 

us in the same category as these 

people that are free-loading 

their way around our country. 

We have paid huge amounts of 

money to be self contained and 

respect and love our travelling. 

Andrea Lamont – I see 

this as a golden opportunity for 

scaring the living daylights out 

of them. Horror movie theme. 

Oh such fun. 

Davena Shields – If they’re 

only there overnight and not 

causing trouble or defecating 

everywhere, then I can’t see the 

problem. Sorry, but some people 

need to get over themselves. 

There are families out there who 

have real struggles of their own 

everyday. 

Helen Leggatt – To those 

who say they’re doing no harm, 

I suspect you’d think very 

differently if they were parking 

outside your driveway, leaving 

stained toilet paper, remnants 

of cooking/food, and rubbish at 

your fence line. 

It’s not the location, per 

se (although I think using 

cemeteries is somewhat 

disrespectful, not to those in it, 

but those who visit loved ones) 

but what they leave behind. The 

rubbish down the Waimakariri 

Gorge from freedom campers 

can sometimes be gross. 

COMPLAINTS: Freedom campers are drawing criticism from residents for parking outside the Waimairi Cemetery in Burnside. 

Kerry 

Beardsley 

– They are 

using the 

cemetery and 

church steps 

to cook food 

etc and some 

can be quite 

intimidating 

while 

walking 

past. It also 

seems to be 

a meeting 

point where they have larger 

gatherings. 

Pauline Handley – I wonder 

when and if the council will do 

a survey to see how many at any 

given time are actually travelling 

freedom campers and which are 

people living in vans etc because 

of the high rental prices in 

Christchurch? 

Ben O’Connor 

– I hate freedom 

campers, they have no 

respect for anything 

or anyone and they 

are so selfish like it’s 

there right to do what 

they want where they 

want. 

Cath Milio – We 

don’t know if there 

are issues. 

I would hope they have basic 

respect for a cemetery and do 

not use the grounds for toileting, 

eating etc. 

Parking up outside a cemetery 

is hardly a crime. 

Johnny Alderdice – Some 

people must just look for reasons 

to get offended. 

Stephen Graham – No class 

at all these particular freedom 

campers. 

Stephanie Hagerty – Are 

there public toilets there or do 

they use the cemetery? 

Daisy Graham – If motels 

and camping grounds were 

more affordable, maybe freedom 

campers would not be a 

problem. 

Graeme Palmer – At 

least they are not parked in the 

cemetery. 

John Baxendine – Need to 

make places for them all over 

the country. 

Kim Button – Yes, I saw 

them there recently – I find it a 

bit strange. 

Sarah Spencer Smith – I 

heard that freedom campers 

were parking inside the 

cemetery. 

James David Foote – 

Get over yourselves. Do the 

cemetery’s residents seem 

upset? 

Dean Comyns – Rubbish 

everywhere last time I went past, 

and the same van in the same 

spot as the picture, annoying. 

Wendy Woo – Get over 

yourselves, you’re lucky you have 

a home.

Former Shirley skipper 

to lead NZ under-20 

side at Oceania champs 

LEADER: Tom Christie in action during his time at Shirley Boys’ 

High School. (Right) – Christie was a part of the under-20 NZ 

squad which won the world championship in Georgia last year. 

• By Gordon FIndlater 

FORMER SHIRLEY Boys’ High 

School first XV captain Tom 

Christie has vowed to lead from 

the front at the Oceania rugby 

under-20 championship on the 

Gold Coast. 

The promising loose forward 

and Christchurch club man will 

captain New Zealand at the Gold 

Coast tournament. 

“To be given a leadership role is 

an honour,” said Christie. 

“I pride myself on leadership 

qualities. 

“It’s something that helps 

you perform I find. For me, my 

performance is my No 1 goal, 

but being given a leadership role 

emphasises the need to perform 

for me.” 

The squad will assemble in 

Auckland on April 21 before 

departing for the Gold Coast. 

Canterbury players Ngane 

Punivai, Will Tucker and former 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

outside back Will Jordan are also 

part of the squad. 

New Zealand will play Tonga, 

Fiji and Australia. The team will 

be looking to claim their fifth 

title in as many years. 

Members of the squad will be 

pushing their case for selection 

in the world championship next 

month in France. 

Christie has Mitre 10 Cup 

experience with Canterbury and 

SPORTS

during the pre-season. 

He was named young 

sportsman of the year at the

Beautiful jewellery 

in unique designs 

Bella Silver in Merivale Mall has been 

supplying beautiful jewellery for delighted 

customers from Christchurch and further 

afield since 1996. 

Owner Alfredo Escaip travels around the 

world to personally select exquisite pieces 

for his store, as well as creating custommade 

engagement rings and wedding 

bands in his Christchurch workshop. 

The range includes precious and semiprecious 

stones, the majority of which are 

totally natural, set in sterling silver and 

gold. Necklaces, bracelets, pendants, rings 

are all on display – so many stunning and 

unique designs to choose from for gifts or 

for a special treat for yourself. 

Bella Silver also offers jewellery repairs, 

a professional watch repair service, and 

watch battery fitting.

his home country, Mexico, Alfredo made 

jewellery as a hobby. Then, after moving to 

New Zealand in 1995, he decided to turn 

jewellery-making into a full-time career. 

As he says, “It’s much more artistic and 

creative than engineering.”

WITH MARY IN FAITH 

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

FROM THE BOARD 

History shows the heart of our school 

remains strong and true through 

change. Marian College was established 

in 1982 with the bringing together 

of two Catholic secondary schools 

for girls– McKillop College and St 

Mary’s College – the latter being one 

of the oldest schools in Canterbury, 

established in 1893. 

The gospel values that Marian College 

was built on continue through to today, 

along with the guidance and steady 

support of the Catholic Diocese of 

Christchurch. 

The appointment of our new Bishop and 

his intention to make Marian College a 

priority – signals the next new phase for 

our school. 

Our community is rich in experience, 

knowledge, faith and diversity and 

we value every contribution. The 

Marian College Board extends an open 

invitation to everyone who is part of 

Marian College’s history - and future - 

to connect with us. This includes past 

and present students, immediate and 

extended family, and next generations - 

the young women who will lead us into 

the future. 

There will be opportunities to be 

involved, and to have a say on what our 

new school will look like. 

By clicking the ‘following’ tab on the 

Marian College Facebook page you 

can select ‘see first’ in your newsfeed, 

to ensure you receive the latest Marian 

College news first.

MODEL UN 

Unlike any other high school event, 

the Canterbury Model UN 2018 brings 

together 200 students for two days of 

debate and discussion on issues affecting 

society today. 

Seven Year 13 Marian College students 

participated recently – pictured from back 

left: Katie Ryan, Jodie Worthington, Kitty 

Aloysius, Izzy Bloxham (Head Girl), 

Louise Daly, Rose Heslop-Brown (front) 

and Bernie Simpson. 

Jodie said she found the experience 

extremely valuable. “Each of us was 

assigned a country and spent two days 

debating global issues, problem solving, 

meeting 200 other students and having 

heaps of fun,” Jodie said.

PASIFIKA 

CELEBRATED 

Marian College supported its largest 

ever performing Pasifika Group 

at the sPacPac Polyfest 2018 

Festival held in Burwood recently. 

The Marian College Pasifika Group 

also had the most students from 

any one school on stage – 43 

students performed – and had 

the honour of closing the annual 

festival.

KIDSTUFF 

The history of 

Papanui’s 

Superb quality and 

variety at Kidstuff 

Langdons Rd 

Papanui Heritage Group chairman 

Murray Williams writes about the 

history of Thomas Langdon of 

Langdons Rd 

THOMAS LANGDON was born in 

Somerset in 1831 and gained experience 

working on his father’s farm before 

emigrating to Canterbury in 1858. 

He and his wife Georgiana Langdon 

arrived at Lyttelton on September 21 on 

the Zealandia after a 98-day voyage from 

Gravesend. 

The Langdons had occupied a cabin, an 

indication that they were wealthy enough 

to avoid the lack of privacy of those with 

more limited means who had to endure 

the cramped and dingy steerage area 

below decks. 

Mr Langdon gradually assembled 

significant holdings in Papanui. 

He purchased and leased land from the 

original rural sections, three, five and 

323. 

The former two areas had contained 

most of the Papanui Bush which had been 

cut out by 1857. 

Mr Langdon obviously saw the value 

of the land as a farming proposition and 

it appears he ran cattle, an interest that 

he retained later in his life when he was 

notable as a judge of sheep and cattle at A 

and P shows. 

By 1859, he had established a butchery 

in Vagues Rd, a business later relocated 

to the much larger Christchurch market, 

an interesting indicator of the growing 

interdependence between the city and its 

satellite. The Colombo St butcher’s shop 

was run as a partnership and was still 

operating as Langdon and Steel at the 

beginning of the 20th century. 

Mr and Mrs Langdon had eight 

children, an important contribution to 

the local economy. The family home 

was probably the first on the road that 

ran north-west from the north road and 

parallel with Harewood Rd and owed its 

name to its first occupants. 

In 1887, there were only six houses in 

IN MEMORIAM: This headstone in the 

St Paul’s Anglican Church Cemetery 

on Harewood Rd commemorates 

the lives of Thomas and Georgiana 

Langdon. 

this rural road which provided access to 

farms and orchards. 

By 1951, lots in Langdons Rd were 

numbered from 8-129, but the street 

petered out before reaching Bishops Rd 

(now Greers Rd). 

Mr Langdon died in 1904 (his wife 

had pre-deceased him by two years) but 

his name still prevails in the name of the 

street which, in 1955, was extended to 

link up to Greers Rd, a move designed to 

give access to the new state housing area 

developed in north Papanui in the mid- 

1950s. 

However, Mr Langdon’s name had not 

been retained without a battle. In 1926, 

the council attempted to rename the road 

Lambeth St but local protest ensured 

that the commemoration of its first 

householder remains to this day.

HEALTH & AWARENESS 


Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or 

could it be mainly my muscles? 


The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham 

sees clients with a range of symptoms but 

many of their middle-aged and senior 

clients visit complaining of pain in one or 

both hips. 

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests 

that a major part of the pain could be due 

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. 

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason 

for the pain may be the muscles around 

the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a 

back muscle could also be the cause, as 

shown in the image. 

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year 

old client with severe arthritis who walked 

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in 

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight 

through my right leg due to pain in my hip 

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she 

was walking with her stick but without the 

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was 

one of the factors that made her muscles 

spasm but the other was that older people 

move less and the flexed position the hip 

is in when we sit is particularly bad for 

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that 

although the client was 89 and could have 

been “given up on” or told to live with the 

pain, she made a difference to her health 

Hip muscle that causes hip pain 

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt) 

and wellbeing. 

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques 

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation 

techniques) are used to release the muscles. 

The client also gets a home exercise 

program designed to mobilize and stretch 

the hip, strengthen the important core 

muscles and increase general strength and 

balance. They teach a movement sequence 

that stretches the hip in all directions 

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their 

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients. 

In many cases having the muscles 

released and being taught how to maintain 

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. 

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause, 

some maintenance therapy may be 

necessary, but that is often more affordable 

and, for older patients, better tolerated than 

surgery. In very few treatments the client 

Back hip muscle that causes hip pain 

will know if it is going to work for them or 

not, without financial commitment.

Bunch of yme” in Ireland. e song 

stayed in the Irish Charts for an 

unbelievable 53 weeks. It was released 

in the UK in 1982 and soared up the 

pop charts, becoming their rst topselling 

#1 single. eir next release “Old 

Flames” also made its way into the UK 

charts, along with their mega-hit single 

“Maggie”. 

Today, Foster & Allen has achieved 

album and video sales in excess of 20 

million worldwide. ey have released 

30 charting albums over a 30-year 

career - the only act in the world to 

achieve this. 

To coincide with their national tour 

of New Zealand, Foster & Allen has 

released two new albums. “Gold & 

Silver Days” features all new material 

and “Aer All ese Years” is specially 

released for Mother's Day. 

On this tour Foster & Allen will be 

accompanied by Moyra Fraser on 

keyboards; Ollie Kennedy on bass 

guitar; and Bryan Megahey on lead
