The main feature this week was a live phone chat (from New Zealand) with Peter Williams, known for his 50-year musical career including such acts as Max Merritt & The Meteors, The Groove and The Mixtures! Naturally, there was plenty to talk about - including factoids such as the synth intro to Captain Zero being played by Brian Eno - and plenty to play, including Peter's own rare solo single and an unreleased track by Eureka Stockade, the name The Groove took when they moved to the UK. A fair number of other NZ acts were played throughout the show such as The Underdogs and Shane, along with the usual obscurities and genre-defying bands such as Gangstagrass combining bluegrass with hip hop. NB: the Peter Williams interview, with Michael Hunter, Cat and Brat but sans music, will be available for download for approx 30 days from http://tinyurl.com/9rtlcvg
