Celebrating 56 years<br />
on the local music scene<br />
NEVILLE Wilkins & the Viscounts celebrate<br />
56 years on the music scene this weekend<br />
making them one of New Zealand’s longest<br />
established dance bands.<br />
Straits, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard, Englebert<br />
Humperdink, and Elvis Presley,” said Neville.<br />
“So we play a good mixture of 50's, 60's, 70's<br />
ballads, rock and roll, country and even Irish.”<br />
Today the Viscounts - Neville Wilkins<br />
(trumpet); Christine Williams (vocals); Dave<br />
Petrie (keyboards); Ray Harris (guitar);<br />
Graeme Wallis (bass); John Wilson (drums) -<br />
still perform at private functions and the<br />
occasional public show.<br />
‘Famous for their roasts!’<br />

Christchurch trumpeter, Neville Wilkins<br />
formed the band in 1962 and during its career<br />
The Viscounts has had around 60 members,<br />
with some staying as long as 20 years.<br />
Their first residencies included<br />
Christchurch’s 500 Club in Chancery Lane and<br />
The Town & About in Peterborough St,<br />
followed later by the Bush Inn Courts and<br />
Twiggers.<br />
With a career spanning well over five<br />
decades, the group has adapted its repertoire<br />
with time and today play a wide selection of<br />
material.<br />
“I always aimed for the band to play the<br />
most popular artists, such as Ricky Nelson,<br />
Billy Vaughan, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Gene<br />
Pitney, Eddie Calvert, Neil Diamond, Dire<br />
